4 Stars for Robots Rising

I liked the book because I like to invent stuff, like robots. I also liked the book because it tought me alot about more different types of robots, like some the size of bugs. The best part of the book was the part with the bug bots because I like to spy on people. The best part of the book (like I said already) is the part with the bug bots. It was the best because part because the book said they could spy on people. The robots did it by going through pipes to listen to people. Some of the characters were Remote Mobile Investigator or RMI, Mini Andros, and Andros 6x6. RMI was used to end a stand off in Prince Williams County. It was used to find Smith and help arrest him. Mini Andros was used to stop a high-jacker from stealing an airplane. Andros 6x6 was used to go over hazardous material in Atlanta,GA. The conflict with RMI was to end a stand off. With Mini Andros he ended the conflict by stopping a high-jacker on an airplane. The conflict with Andros 6x6 was to go over hazardous material.

Entertaining, well-written and educational

This is a great book for children interested in the weird and fun aspects of technology and the future. It is entertaining to read and makes a complicated subject accessible. It's also very pretty!
