Bookroo's summary

Wendel, a clever but messy mouse, discards his faulty robot assistant, Clunk, for a new creation, the Wendelbot. But when the Wendelbot takes over, Wendel must fight to reclaim his workshop. Can he outsmart his own invention, or will he end up on the scrapheap? Dive into a world of inventive chaos and unexpected twists as Wendel faces his greatest challenge yet. This action-packed tale promises humor, surprises, and a subtle nod to environmental awareness. Let the robot battle commence!

From the publisher

Wendel is a very clever mouse–but not a very tidy one. If his inventions go wrong, Wendel just throws them away and starts again. So when Clunk, his robot assistant, fills the sock drawer with cups and saucers and makes tea in a boot, Wendel throws him on the scrapheap and makes himself a new assistant: the Wendelbot. But he gets more than he bargained for, and soon Wendel finds himself on the scrapheap. Can he win back his workshop from the mighty Wendelbot? Let the robot battle commence! Wendel and the Robots is a wonderfully funny, action-packed story full of surprises and extraordinary inventions, and with a subtle environmental message.
