Book 8
A Parade of Horribles
Mordecai later adds hand-like grabbers to the front legs. Jamal uses them to groom Carl and Donut. Sticky feet let him climb onto the garage ceiling, where he becomes frightened and needs Donut’s help getting down.
The ice-cream-truck crash destroys the harness, but Jamal survives. Carl orders the others to rescue him and reassures him that he can still drive.[3]
