so-so
Shane Hegarty‘s science fiction novel for children aged 7+ (the first in a series and illustrated by Ben Mantle) mashes up TOY STORY with WALL-E in a cute but slight tale of identity, loss and belonging. However while Boot is an intrepid robot battling against adversity, his story didn‘t really spark for me, mainly because it hits so many familiar beats and the supporting cast feel by-the-numbers.
