The Trouble with Sisters and Robots

Written and Illustrated by Steve Gritton

Digging for treasure in their yard, Kyle and his pesky sister, Lizzy, find a robot head. Kyle adds pieces of scrap metal for a body, plugs the whole thing in, and Rusteye the Robot comes alive! Unfortunately, everything Rusteye touches - including Kyle's parents - turn to metal. Kyle can't stop his rampaging robot. Lizzy things she knows how - but will Kyle listen? A hilariously funny science fiction story for robot fanatics - and big brothers - everywhere!
