Overview
The Awesome Robot Chronicles brings together the first three laugh-out-loud adventures of FREDDY, a robot schoolboy with superpowers he's almost never allowed to use, in one brand new paperback set. Written and illustrated by British cartoonist Neill Cameron, this trilogy from David Fickling Books blends comic-strip energy with warm, relatable stories about school, friendship and fame, making it a brilliant gift for fans of funny middle-grade adventure.
About the Book(s)
Freddy is an ordinary kid in almost every way, except that he lives with Mum and Dad, goes to school, and happens to be an AWESOME ROBOT with genuine superpowers he's rarely allowed to use, and definitely not at school. In Freddy vs School, that rule is tested as chaos and the urge to do good collide with classroom life. In Freddy and the New Kid, sceptical classmate Aoife insists humans beat robots at everything, so Freddy sets out to prove her wrong with increasingly inventive challenges. In Freddy the Superstar, Freddy's robotic talents land him centre stage at the school science fair, and fame quickly goes to his head, testing his friendships and forcing him to learn some humility. Throughout all three books, Neill Cameron's distinctive comic-artist style shines through in busy, expressive illustrations paired with short, punchy chapters, making these especially appealing to reluctant readers and fans of illustrated fiction. Themes of belonging, competition, self-control and honesty run throughout, wrapped in slapstick humour and genuine heart. Each 224-page paperback stands alone but rewards readers who follow Freddy's journey from an eager, rule-breaking robot into a more thoughtful friend.
