Publisher's Synopsis
Meet Zachary Ruthless. Better yet, donÆt meet him. In fact, if you see him coming run as fast as you can in the opposite direction. Maybe you should start running now, just to be safe. Because Zachary Ruthless only looks like heÆs the nicest ten-year-old boy in the world. Actually heÆs evil and horrible and terrible and a bunch of other bad things we donÆt like to think about. Why, in this book alone he shoots brain-erasing lasers, sets loose vicious insects, and chews nasty, zucchini-flavored gum. But, then again, he does have his loveable sidekick, Newt, to reel him in when his plans get to be a little bit TOO evil.
