Our review
After the chicken rescue, Mr. Wolf and the group learn they antagonized the wrong guinea pig: Professor Marmalade is an evil scientist bent on revenge. The tiny antagonist’s scale intensifies the joke while the earlier mission’s consequences give his attack a series-specific cause.
Read this third rather than as an entry point, because its force depends on knowing the team and what they did before. Mission Unpluckable tests trust inside the group during a rescue; The Furball Strikes Back turns that success into an external revenge plot and raises the danger to survival.
Before you buy it
An evil scientist seeks revenge and the team faces repeated peril; the story assumes knowledge of the earlier chicken mission.
