By the time the Bros reach Jötunn Base, Wolfram has already ruthlessly crushed the RAID force led by their friend Agent Susie Nichols and all that’s possible is to stop their determined and utterly unreasonable brother by any means necessary… This is set in a future London and those looking for more multicultural representation in their reading will love how future London is populated by so many people of color in this book. Cameron has created two robots brothers with very different personalities. The younger one is goofy and loves immature humor. The older one is more serious and is wrestling with mysterious shadows of their past that give him nightmares. Both display very impressive superhero abilities when they are needed to save the day. Their dad appears to be a normal human guy, their mom is an inventor with the government. Middle graders who love superhero graphic novels, robots, or futuristic scifi should enjoy this one. Originally published in UK weekly comic The Phoenix, this revised, retooled and remastered saga opens with the lads feted as global heroes. Ambiguous Gender Identity: Alex shows signs of this in books 2 and 3, as he wonders if he is a girl after Jamal says he's one, can't decide whether to get a Blue (Action & Adventure) or Pink (Friends & Feelings) Choki Egg, changes his colour scheme to Pink and joins the girl's football team.

Being the most advanced robots on the planet isn't always as cool as it sounds. You still have to go to school and clothes shopping with your Mum; and there's no escape from bulling either. Amidst the massive mechanoid fights, explosions and laser battles, this fourth adventure for the Mega Robo Bros once again asks thoughtful questions about what makes us human and features its customary, inclusive cast of diverse characters. Cool Big Sis: Susie Nichols, the babysitter and handler of Alex and Freddy and one of R.A.I.D.'s agents. A hilarious first novel from Neill Cameron, creator of the Mega Robo Bros series and How to Make Awesome Comics. About This Edition ISBN:

I’ve already told you about just how good the comic is with the first volume in these newly remastered, ungraded, improved digest format versions of Mega Robo Bros in the review of Power Up, but now it’s time to head out once more with volume two of the digest series, Double Threat. Part 2: Meltdown’ opens with an increase in casual human-on-robot abuse. Perhaps this triggers Wolfram’s final solution as Dad heads to the North Pole to interview chief scientist Professor Mahfouz spearheading an attempt to restore the polar ice cap with a colossal freezing machine. In a London far cooler than ours, Alex and his younger brother Freddie are (sort of) typical kids: boisterous, fractious, eternally argumentative yet devoted to each other, and not too bothered that they’re adopted. It’s really no big deal for them that they were constructed by the mysterious Dr. Roboticus before he vanished, and are considered by those in the know as the most powerful – and only SENTIENT – robots on Earth. I could tell you more, but there’s a wonderful little section at the end of the first Mega Robo Bros book, Power Up, where Freddy pretty much sums up all you need to know, in his own unique way! Okay humans, listen up! My name is FREDDY. I live with my Mum and Dad. I go to school. Oh yeah, the MAIN thing: I am an AWESOME ROBOT! With awesome robotic SUPERPOWERS! But I'm hardly ever allowed to USE them, and definitely not at SCHOOL. Which is going to be a PROBLEM...

Coming of Age Story: for both Alex and Freddy, as they deal with normal kid problems growing up while being the youngest agents of R.A.I.D. Story told, the amazed Robo Bros realise why Mum called the recently-returned Wolfram their brother. They are all unaware that the damaged, deranged droid is observing and has made a decision that will affect all humanity… And then, again, I get that 9 year old boys like this, but the amount of songs the robot bros make up about poopy butts and your face smelling like a butt and “I’m naked, I look great! Look at my butt!” The Ghost: Dr. Roboticus, the creator of both Alex and Freddy, Wolfram, and the entire team of Super Robo Seven. A different kind of crisis manifests next as the Mega Robo Bros experience the dubious joys of camping, on and organised kids-only Outbound Adventure trip. It’s the first time away from home – other than for Earth-saving – for both boys and neither is keen to spend time in a strange camp with boys they don’t know. It’s a life-changing experience for all concerned…This amazing book republishes MEGA ROBO BROS, fully remastered and adapted into a new chunky format, with lots of extra bonus content! While saving lives with them she first met crusading journalist/future husband Michael Mokeme who proudly took her name when they eventually wed…
