The Junkyard Bot — C.J. Richards

The heartwarming story of a boy and his ... robot.

Worker robots keep the high-tech town of Terabyte Heights humming, but George Gearing is the only person who has a robot for a best friend. Jackbot may be scrappy, but he's the best pal a boy could have -- until he's hit by a car. Luckily George is a whiz with mechanics, so he repairs his broken bot with parts from state-of-the-art TinkerTech Laboratories.

The new and improved Jackbot is pretty amazing. George is thrilled when his talented bot catches the eye of Dr. Micron, head of robotics at TinkerTech. But soon it becomes clear that there's a villain in Terabyte Heights who is determined to destroy the whole town, unless George and his new friend, Anne, can save the day!

This fun, futuristic page-turner launches a tech-tacular new middle grade series.
