Robo-dude (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Shaun is no ordinary teenage boy, in fact he's not a boy at all. Shaun is a robot, otherwise known as Robo-dude, a domestic helper around the house. He has been bought by mother and daughter, Sandra and Chloe Wilson to bring some order into their busy lives.
After a few teething problems, Shaun fits in very well. The house has never been so tidy. Then Chloe discovers there are other tasks Robo-dude can perform, all it takes is an App and a few minutes with an Allen key and Shaun can do ironing, bake cakes or even hold intelligent conversations.
But in every tale there must be conflict, and so it is in this one. Things don't run altogether smoothly because unknown to Chloe and her mother, Shaun has secret abilities. Other players know this and want Shaun for their own not quite so legal purposes.
In the end it falls to Shaun to restore some sort of calm, which he does in a quite disorderly and spectacular way.

Autorenporträt

David McRobbie was born in Glasgow in 1934. After an apprenticeship he joined the Merchant Navy as a marine engineer and sailed the world, or some of it. Eventually he worked his passage to Australia, got married and settled down for a bit only to move to Papua New Guinea where he trained as a teacher.
Subsequently he found work as a college lecturer, then a researcher for parliament. Back in Australia in 1974 he joined the Australian Broadcasting Corporation as a producer of radio and television programs for young people.
In 1990 he gave up this work to become a full time writer for children and young adults. He has written over thirty paperbacks, mainly novels, but some are collections of short stories, plays and 'how-to' books on creative writing.
Three of his novels were adapted for television, with David writing all of the sixty-five scripts the first being The Wayne Manifesto in 1996, followed by Eugénie Sandler, PI then Fergus McPhail. These shows were broadcast throughout the world, including Australia and Britain on BBC and ITV.
The BBC adapted another of David's novels for television See How They Run, which became the first BBC/ABC co-production.
At the age of 79, David is still at work. His most recent paperback novels are Vinnie's War, (Allen & Unwin) published in 2011, about childhood evacuation in the second world war. This was followed by To Brave The Seas, in 2013, a story about a 14-year-old boy who sails in Atlantic convoys during WW2. Both books are available online.
