Description

An illustrated fantasy story with science themes; friendship and science bring tiny magical robots to life for nine-year-old Penny Rose!
In a new town with only the robots she creates for company, it only takes a little bit of magic to change everything for nine-year-old Penny Rose. With her new friend Lark--an eccentric tinkerer herself--the promise of joining a secret science club and her newly sentient robots, Penny Rose cant imagine how she was ever lonely. But a fateful misstep means Penny Rose will have to choose between the club shes always dreamed of and the best friend she'd always hoped for. And in the end, it may be her beloved little robots who pay the price. A magical story of friendship, growing up and how our choices affect those we care most about.

Reviews

This charming tale of friendship, loyalty and robots is the age-old story of a new arrival trying to fit in at a new school, but with an added sprinkle of magic, spookiness and the weird little robots of the title. * Children's Books Ireland - Mind Yourself *
