    • Synopsis
    • To be totally honest, Rik Boskamp would have preferred to have a different dad. One that wasn’t such a flaky idiot. After watching a mafia film on TV, Rik suddenly knows what needs to happen: he and his Dad need to become part of the mafia! You can do anything you like without getting punished and everyone thinks you’re cool. When he and his Dad move house, Rik decides that from now on he is Rikki the Little Gangster. The whole neighbourhood believes Rik’s stories about his dangerous Dad and everyone is terrified of… the Little Gangster!
