In good news for readers who were riotously entertained by Jack Noel’s first pun-and-fun-packed Dadbot book (and for diehard Dog Man fans who will surely love this series), the robot with the remarkable butt is back in Rise of the Badbots ! and boy are readers in for wildly wacky, witty ride!
“Your school has banned smartphones. I don’t think they’d allow a massive robot with a butt printer”. Such is Dad’s response when Josh and Daisy try to convince him to let Dadbot go to school with them now the summer holidays have ended. So, Dadbot is left to his own chaos-making devices until HONEY the home virtual assistant turns up on their doorstep.
Though Dadbot is initially thrilled to have a new friend, HONEY turns out to have a hidden agenda, and the stakes could hardly be higher.
Skilfully paced and laced with comic of-the-moment details (e.g. an excellent unboxing montage, and a relatable representation of the joys of calling an automated customer service line), this technicolour treasure comes with the bonus of cool “how to draw” activities, and the tantalising promise of book three.
Dadbot is back in this wacky graphic novel series, in a riot of colour!
Read the full description
The summer holidays are over and it's time for Josh and Daisy to go back to school - which means Dadbot has to stay at home without them. But then an AI home assistant called HONEY is mysteriously left on their doorstep, and Dadbot is delighted to have company. Even better, it's the company of another robot!
Josh and Daisy, however, aren't too sure about Dadbot's new friend. Her voice keeps changing and it feels like she's watching them. Worse yet, Dadbot prefers spending time with HONEY than with them! When a massive power cut affects the whole town, Josh and Daisy realise something is really wrong. HONEY's interest in Dadbot isn't just creepy - it's dangerous! But who is behind it all and what do they want? Josh and Daisy need to act fast to save Dadbot . . . and their entire town!
Full of robots, puns and dastardly dad-napping, this hilarious series is perfect for fans of Bunny vs Monkey and Dog Man !
