Childrens
What’s it like growing up in a town founded by inventors? On
Saturdays, the adults open the doors of the Invent-o-Drome
and give local children free rein to create whatever gadgets
they can think up. Hypno-Goggles, a Rocket Chair, a
homeworkeating robo-dog – the can-do kids of Marveltown are
never at a loss for ideas. But when an unfortunate short
circuit causes a group of giant robot workers to go berserk
– and the adults flee for their lives – are the kids ready
to put their know-how to the test? In his
first book for children, veteran illustrator Bruce McCall
has crafted a tale of ingenuity and mayhem with pictures
that pop with retro charm and crackerjack wit.
