Synopsis
Dadbot is back in this wacky graphic novel series, in a riot of colour!
The summer holidays are over and it's time for Josh and Daisy to go back to school - which means Dadbot has to stay at home without them. But then an AI home assistant called HONEY is mysteriously left on their doorstep, and Dadbot is delighted to have company. Even better, it's the company of another robot!
Josh and Daisy, however, aren't too sure about Dadbot's new friend. Her voice keeps changing and it feels like she's watching them. Worse yet, Dadbot prefers spending time with HONEY than with them! When a massive power cut affects the whole town, Josh and Daisy realise something is really wrong. HONEY's interest in Dadbot isn't just creepy - it's dangerous! But who is behind it all and what do they want? Josh and Daisy need to act fast to save Dadbot . . . and their entire town!
Full of robots, puns and dastardly dad-napping, this hilarious series is perfect for fans of BUNNY VS MONKEY and DOG MAN!

Reviews
[A] funny feast of graphic novel genius. . . Boy, are readers in for wildly wacky, witty ride. . . Skilfully paced and laced with comic of-the-moment details. this technicolour treasure comes with the bonus of cool "how to draw" activities, and the tantalising promise of book three.
hilarious, fast-paced graphic novel [...], part of a popular series adored by less confident readers
If you enjoyed Dadbot then you are going to love the second book, which see the rise of the Badbots.
The most enormous fun. . . Jack Noel's brilliant artwork makes the book irresistible to its target 6+ audience through into upper KS2, and conveys not just the action and the humour but the moods of the characters fantastically well throughout.
