A funny, heartwarming adventure about an unlikely friendship between a boy and a robot from award-winner Frank Cottrell-Boyce, with a vibrant new cover by Steven Lenton. What if your best friend was a robot? When Alfie goes to Airport Lost Property, he finds a giant robot called Eric hidden away on the shelves. Eric has lost one leg and half his memory. He's super strong--but super clumsy. He's convinced that he's the latest technology, when he's actually nearly a hundred years old and ready for the scrap heap. Can Alfie find a way to save Eric from destruction before Eric destroys everything around him?
