Small Robot, Big Adventure
by Shane Hegarty
The action starts right away in this book when a robot awakes with “two and a half memories” and just about to get scrapped as junk. He thinks his name is Boot, because it’s the first thing he says when he wakes (but actually it was a command to boot up!)
One scrap is followed by another in this warm, funny, (scary!) adventure of friendship and bravery. Boot is convinced that his owner Beth must not have meant to throw him away. He and his newfound friends have to navigate clues from his two-and-a-half memories to find his way back.
This reminded me very much of the movie Wall-E, but in a book for younger readers. The world is one populated equally by robots and humans. It’s a great beginning of a series on Boot that 7-9ers will love, especially with the generous black and white illustrations by Ben Mantle.
