He's been programmed to learn like a\u003cbr\u003echild, so standing on a plinth in the science museum is no fun. Along comes\u003cbr\u003eTom. Boffin escapes with him (despite Tom's best efforts) on the school coach.\u003cbr\u003eWhat can Tom do? Terrified of being accused of stealing the robot, he disguises\u003cbr\u003eBoffin as a real boy. But how long can Tom fool his parents - and his school?\u003cbr\u003eHaving the world's most valuable robot to stay is the most exciting thing, but\u003cbr\u003edefinitely the scariest, that Tom's ever known. This collision of robotics and\u003cbr\u003enormality sets up a story of constant humour and tense drama, with some\u003cbr\u003ethought-provoking questions of science and humanity. Above all, what\u003cbr\u003eresponsibility does Tom feel for this machine that's wished itself on him and\u003cbr\u003enow wants the life of a real boy? \"Boffin Brainchild\" is a gripping,\u003cbr\u003estimulating tale from first to last.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReview\u003cbr\u003e\"A real page turner and great fun!\" - Michael Morpurgo \"... a great book for\u003cbr\u003eyounger readers - clever, thought-provoking and funny.\" - Clare Poole, P \u0026amp; G\u003cbr\u003eWells, Winchester, children's bookseller and reviewer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003cbr\u003eJill Jennings lives in North Yorkshire with her family and 14 animals.
