Beschreibung des Verlags
A girl’s efforts to build a robot friend go comically awry when the robot attempts world domination in this witty metaphor for the ups and downs of friendship.
Ever wish friendship came with an instruction manual? A resourceful youngster follows step-by-step directions for constructing a robot to be her friend. The instructions make it sound so simple! But they also caution that sometimes a friendship doesn’t turn out as hoped for, as the girl discovers when her new friend unexpectedly unleashes an evil robot army on the city. Now she has to stop the robot and seriously reevaluate their friendship! In the end, the resilient heroine of this comical and clever tale not only saves the city, she finds a real and lasting friend where least expected.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Martin offers a wry guide to friend making—literally, "with the right power tools and a basic understanding of Advanced Robotics, it's easy!" Vintage animation–style art by Aserr, which will appeal to fans of Big Hero 6, depicts a dark-haired, light brown–skinned child as they check out a manual from the library and weld a towering yellow robot in their secret lab. Subsequent friendship activities including tea parties and tree house building go as planned, though hopscotch and water balloon fights prove troublesome ("Ah, wait... Water fights are not a good idea," one rounded panel reads, as the robot short-circuits). Genuine advice parallels speculative art—"Don't be alarmed or upset if your friend decides to make some other friends," one spread reads, before the images show the child stopping their friend from leading a robot army rebellion. A clever self-help parody bolstered by real-life-applicable advice.
