Something VERY WEIRD is going on in Cleeby.
All the grown-ups are acting strangely. Sandy and his friend Arjan have a suspicion. They think the grown-ups have all been replaced by ROBOTS.
And everything points to the evil boss of the local toaster factory!
Together with a very friendly cyborg named Colin, Sandy and Arjan must save the day - and Sandy’s mum - and get home in time for tea!
Laugh-out-loud, wacky and exciting, this is the first book from a fabulously funny new voice for children, and a member of the writers' room behind Wonka and Paddington 2. Featuring a robot whale, jet boots, lasers, and huge amounts of toast, it's a perfect read for fans of Nadia Shireen's GRIMWOOD, Pamela Butchart's BABY ALIENS and Emily-Jane Clark's BEASTS OF KNOBBLY BOTTOM.
