Norby and the Court Jester On spring break from the Space Academy, Jeff Wells and his robot, Norby, head to the planet Izz for a toy and game fair. They look forward to seeing Princess Rinda and her little robot, Pera. But when Norby receives a telepathic message from Pera—part of which is “help!”—Norby and Jeff are sure that trouble awaits. And whatever’s going on, it’s most likely thanks to the evil Ing, the new Court Jester on the planet Izz.
