Dembe and his friends are about to break off for the school holidays when their headmistress stuns them with an unexpected announcement. Their break from school will be twice as long as usual. Yay! The catch? Students must have a project ready for the science fair that opens the first day of next term. It's not as bad as it seems for Dembe though. Depending on who he teams up with and what they do, it could be an awesome way to spend the holidays. Maybe they could even win first place! But how can a bunch of ten-year old kids wow the judges? What would be awesome enough to win first place? A robot. An awesome walking, talking, dancing/fighting, super-powered robot, that is. Now they just have to figure out how to build one. But if Dembe and his friends thought that was their only problem, they are in for a big surprise.For Grades 4-9 or ages 9 to 14. (Includes illustrations)
