BOOT: The Rusty Rescue: Book 2
Over dit audioboek
'Fast, funny and furious. These are definitely my favourite robots.' Eoin Colfer
Toy robot Boot has come a long way since it woke up in a scrapyard with only two-and-a-half glitchy memories. It has a home with its robot pals in an abandoned amusement arcade, and has discovered what true happiness is - although, it's still not sure why humans are so leaky and weird ... But when Boot and the gang stumble upon Rusty, an old, broken robot, forgotten in the back of a testing lab, it's time to spring into action. Boot knows there's something special about Rusty, but can they free the old robot and help it find its purpose?
A thrill-ride of an adventure, stuffed with fun, friendship, and a warehouse full of bouncy castles.
Have you heard the first BOOT story, which was shortlisted for the Sainsbury's Book Award?
