This was an awesome book. I really enjoyed the characters. Ribeye is a barbarian searching for his famous long lost dad and Cubesteak is his brother. I really thoguht Cubesteak was cool because he was always more smart than the other kids. He always had a way to trick the kids out of something he needed. But he was also nice too. Ribeye teaches him how to use a sword so they can fight bad guys like Kama the body guard of Filet Mingon, Ribeye's girlfriend.
The story starts with Ribeye and Cubesteak trying to find their dad but they get caught up in helping save the world when an evil wizard named Suvlaki steals the Jewel of Baloni ( which is really an alien that can grant wishes) who tries to take over the world with it. The Jewel grants wishes and he uses it for bad stuff like hurting people and blowing up buildings and stuff.
Ribeye and Cubesteak try to get it back from him and have to fight dragons, sharks and pirates along the way to stop Suvlkai from taking ove rthe world. The names of the cities are funny too like Bananstan, Chimichanga, Pastafazool abd Bullbaria. these are all names of foods which is funny because all the names of the characxters are foods, Ribeye, Cubesteak, Fillet Mignon and even Suvlaki which is a greek food.
There are a lot of pictures as well, and they are really well drawn too.
I read in the back of the book that the guys that made this book worked on Rugrats, Pinky and the Brain, Animaniacs, Johnny Quest and the Wild thornberries (which is one of my favorite shows)
I also found that there is a website with games and cartoons of Ribeye which is cool too. you can see it at http://www.zaptoons.com
I hope you like it and take care,
