Small Robot Big Adventure by Shane Hegarty
4.0

A tiny robot wakes up in a scrap yard. He's alone and about to fall into the grinder. He has two and a half memories and a butterfly pendant - and a longing to find his owner and go home again.


Boot is absolutely adorable. He's a roundy, scaredy, brave as hell little fighter, determined to get back to Beth no matter what. His determination infects other robots as well and he gathers a small posse as he travels through the city looking for her. The illustrations are fantastic. This will be a very popular new series.

A great read.


"If Boot isn't my name, what is my name?" I asked. This idea made me feel dizzy, even though the ground was flat here.

"I have no idea," said Noke. "It could be Pinocchio for all we know."

"Why would my name be Pinocchio?" I asked.

"Never mind," said Noke.
