Dot Robot
The first book in the Dot.Robot trilogy tells the story of a very clever twelve year-old boy from South London -Jackson Farley. He is brilliant with numbers and mad about computer games. His life changes when he receives a mysterious Instant Message and is pulled into a world of international intrigue and high-tech robots.
The book is aimed at 11+ readers and is set a world the 'digital generation' are very familiar with - computer games, internet cafes, social networks and pop culture. For the boys there is Jackson, an ordinary boy with extraordinary talents; for the girls there is Brooke English, a twelve year American boffin whose bright red hair and penchant for rock music hasn't stopped her from graduating in mechanical engineering from MIT. And all readers will love the Kojima twins, a brother and sister professional gaming team from Japan who bought identical Ferarri's with their winnings from gaming - and a private road to drive them on. Along with English Internet billionaire Devlin Lear, it is a cast of characters that promise to delight young readers throughout 2009.
