Description
Rusthead is a thrilling sci-fi adventure where one boy must battle against an evil robot empire to save the galaxy.
Kol and Sully are best friends living miserable lives as rustheads—treasure hunters who must search planet Rust's vast desert of scrap for useful odds and ends. But everything changes when the boys stumble upon a long-dormant spaceship hidden deep beneath the junk.
When the ship comes to life and propels them away to deep space, they find out that they are not the only ones on board. A mysterious girl is there too, and she has a mission: free the galaxy from the oppressive rule of the robotic Reaper empire. Before they know it, Kol and Sully are dragged into a galaxy-spanning adventure.

About the Author
Ross MacKenzie has been writing stories since he was seven years old, when he created an illustrated short story about a hungry crocodile named Crunchy Colin in a smuggled school jotter. His novel The Nowhere Emporium won the Blue Peter Best Story Award and the Scottish Children’s Book Award. He is also the winner of the Scottish Teenage Book Prize 2021. He now splits his time between writing, his day job as a graphic designer and his wife, daughters and cocker spaniel, with whom he lives near Glasgow.
