Mule boy has got a job as a handyman. And not any handyman. He even does work at the president’s house . If Mule boy does a good job, he may even be allowed to look after the nuclear suitcase one day! But problems emerge due to alookalike.
The handyman is an international political thriller. Or, not quite, then. However the book contains many amazing drawings.
