Description

Robots Stole My Mum! is a laugh-out-loud, wacky, and exciting story about two brilliant kids taking on an army of evil robots—and trying to get home in time for tea! This is the first book from a fabulously funny new voice for children aged 7-9 and a member of the writers' room behind Wonka and Paddinton 2. Perfect for fans of Pamela Butchart.

I was in the corner shop buying a comic. Dad was waiting outside. I'd just given my money to Mr Norman, the shop owner, when it happened. Mr Norman's head exploded.

Something VERY WEIRD is going on in the sleepy town of Cleeby.

All the grown-ups are acting strangely. Sandy and his friend Arjan have a suspicion. They think the grown-ups have all been replaced by ROBOTS.

Everything points to the evil boss of the local toaster factory, Tony's Toasters! Together with a very friendly cyborg named Colin, Sandy and Arjan must save the day—and Sandy's mum—and get home in time for tea!

A brilliant, funny, and fast-paced story, featuring a robot whale, jet boots, lasers, mountains of puffin poo, and huge amounts of toast, this is the perfect next read for fans of Pamela Butchart's Baby Aliens series and Emily-Jane Clark's Beasts of Knobbly Bottom.
