Discover James Foley’s much-loved S. Tinker Inc. graphic novel series for young readers – now in full colour!

Sally 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, that is until the remote breaks and Brobot careens out of control. Sally realises that maybe there’s more to a sibling than just inconveniences.

Written with humour, these graphic novels offer some simple life wisdom alongside a healthy dose of entertainment. A series appealing to young readers with themes of annoying siblings, gross bodily functions and a twelve-year-old ready to save the day.

This is the first book in the S. Tinker Inc. series of graphic novels.

PRAISE FOR THE BOOK

‘Perfect for junior readers both boys and girls.’ Lamont Books

‘Foley’s own inventiveness comes to the fore in Brobot which lives up to its promise as “a hilarious graphic novel for young readers”.’ Buzz Words

‘James Foley spins a yarn about a girl inventor and her robotic sibling … a hilarious take on domestic dystopia.’ The West Australian

‘Foley has his tongue firmly in his cheek as he documents Sally’s crazy plan in delightful drawings that will amuse and entertain young readers.’ Mia Macrossan Children’s Book Council of Australia on 4MBS Classic FM

‘Witty humour abounds in this short graphic novel – may there be many more!’ Lynndy Bennett Gleebooks Gleaner

Brobot is filled with themes of imagination, invention, robotics, family, forgiveness, and more. It’s a must-add to your kid’s collection.’ Better Reading Kids

‘The premise of this graphic novel for independent readers is somewhat similar – students could design their own brobot (or sisbot) using either their imaginations or the activity sheet, perhaps discovering, as Sally did, that their relationships with their siblings is deeper and more important than they thought.’ The Bottom Shelf
