Discover James Foley’s much-loved S. Tinker Inc. graphic novel series for young readers – now in full colour!
Sally Tinker is the world’s foremost inventor under the age of twelve, and she just knows she can build a better brother than the messy, smelly version she has. Sally’s invention – Brobot – is fantastic … until the remote breaks and Brobot careens out of control. Sally realises that maybe there’s more to a sibling than just inconveniences.
