An adventure for readers aged 199 - 9, stuffed with magic, mystery, derring-do and generally ill-advised behaviour. (And robots.) Racing from London to Paris to the heart of Prague, it's a mystery set in the present-day world - but a world the bewildered hero, a 12-year old boy called Alex, finds increasingly invaded by the fantastic and the macabre. When Alex's globe-trotting grandfather sends him an old toy robot to add to his collection just before Christmas, it doesn't seem anything unusual. But when the old man arrives unexpectedly just in time to save him from an attack by sinister little robots he's never seen before, Alex begins to realise there's something different, possibly deadly about his latest acquisition. Fleeing across a snowy Europe, Alex and his grandfather are pursued by assassins both human and mechanical. What is it about the old toy that makes them targets for murder..? "A really marvellous thing" - Starburst "Exceptional in a variety of ways" - The Independent "Atmospheric, gripping and full of robots and adventure" - Fantasy Book Review
