Programmed as a dog, baby triceratops Trikey is ok, but French-speaking deranged ape Monsieur Gorilla can be mighty confusing, whilst gloomily annoying, existentialist aquatic fowl Stupid Philosophy Penguin constantly quotes dead philosophers and makes most people rapidly consider self-harm or manic mayhem. This action-packed story is wildly funny and school life brilliantly well observed (I love Freddy’s long-suffering human parents too). You might have come across them in the Phoenix comic, this book presents one complete adventure – and what an adventure it is! Would Hurt a Child: The villains have no qualms about trying to defeat and even outright harm Alex and Freddy, which is probably due to the fact that both of them are the most powerful robots on Earth capable of super powers such as shooting laser beams out of their hands, flying using their rocket booster feet, super strength, and even punch/hit things with a lot of power.

Wolfram was more powerful than any other construct, and also possessed certain foundational directives that allowed him to make choices and develop his own systems.Now they’re trying to break into Mum’s locked datafiles to learn the truth, and her part in their creation, as this saga opens with ‘Part 1: Fifteen Years Ago’.

This remastered version of Mega Robo Bros, the 2017 graphic novel by a regular contributor to The Phoenix comic, is an action story about two adopted brothers who happen to be robots. David Almond’s latest book Brand New Boy also uses a robot story to explore ideas of understanding, acceptance and human nature. They live as normal a life as possible: going to human school, playing with human friends and hating homework. Previously published as Mega Robo Rumble but now reformatted in alonger, chunkier package with brand new content, Double Threat isperfect for fans of Cherub and Skulduggery Pleasant.

In most ways the boys are typical: boisterous, fractious kids, always arguing, but devoted to each other and not too bothered that they’re adopted. A fantastic graphic novel from the team at children's comic The Phoenix, this is a page-turning adventure with a great main character in brave, athletic and reckless Tamsin. Brothers always find something to fight about, whether it's a 'borrowed' comic or deciding whose 'face smells like a butt'. In 2018 it was also chosen as one of the best children's comics of the year by both the New York Public Library and the Schools Library Journal.
