Sixth-grader Akiko and her friends from the planet Smoo travel to the upside-down city of Gollarondo where an accident befalls Gax the robot and a search begins for all his missing pieces.

Sixth-grader Akiko makes another visit to the planet Smoo, but on the way she passes through a time warp that sends her back twenty-five years.

Akiko and her crew -- Spuckler Boach, Mr. Beeba, Poog, and Gax -- have faced dangers unimaginable to the average fourth-grade earthling. Now their mission is finally coming to an end. At last they've reached the castle of Alia Rellapor -- but that doesn't mean that things have gotten any easier. The castle is heavily guarded by robots and getting inside won't be easy. If they do get in, they have to locate Prince Froptoppit, free him from captivity, and escape from the castle without alerting the guards or their leader, the half man -- half machine Throck. Can a girl who's too scared to be school safety leader pull it off? If anyone can, Akiko can!
