There's something different about Freddy. And it might just be because he's a super-powered robot-which is pretty cool! But when his school clamps down on his powers, Freddy will have to figure out a way to "act human" without caving from the peer pressure. He has three strikes until expulsion. But what's so wrong with being himself?

Freddy is a superhero robot . . . stuck in school. Most robots get to build cars and save the world. But Freddy's mom says he has to go to school and learn stuff the human way. The only problem is that it's really hard to be human. And when he breaks the rules too many times, Principal Javid is forced to create a ROBOTIC CODE OF CONDUCT:

  • NO Super-Strength
  • NO Lasers
  • NO Rocket Boosters

    • Now Freddy has three strikes until game over: expulsion.

    What will life be like with all of the pointing and whispering, but none of the fun? Will his friends even still like him? And who will be able to stop Henrik from terrorizing the other kids?

    The only good thing about school was that it's where his friends are and now even that's changed. But Freddy being a superhero robot might be the only thing that could save everybody . . .

        Robot Freddy must figure out how to behave in the human world. In a futuristic London, Freddy Sharma, who along with his brother is the world's only sentient robot, must attend school. Unfortunately, this really gets in the way of being the super awesome robot he knows he can be. After using his rocket boosters during a game of catch and crashing into the teachers' lounge, Freddy is now on probation: no superstrength, no lasers, and no rocket boosters, or he'll be expelled. His inability to use his powers causes him some feelings of insecurity, especially around his best friends, Fernando and Anisha. Freddy compensates in all the wrong ways, like having a Dare-Off Deathmatch with Fernando that ends disastrously. Despite his good intentions to use his powers to help others--like saving newcomer Riyad from Henrik, the school bully--he just can't seem to win when everyone is waiting for him to fail. But for Freddy, embracing his differences might just save the day. This hilarious novel is perfect for readers who enjoy fast-paced journal-style stories. There's plenty of action, the text's varied appearance adds excitement, and the lively line drawings will grab and maintain readers' attention as they breeze through Freddy's misadventures. Both characters' names and the illustrations reflect the diversity of multicultural London. The funny, page-turning, madcap exploits of a robot boy. (Graphic/fiction hybrid. 8-12)
