Runaway Robot
by Frank Cottrell-Boyce
Alfie, who has lost a hand, meets Eric, a very large and very old robot missing a leg, in the lost property office at the airport.
A story about children and magical creatures, funny and warm in tone. We would put it with children of 9–12, and at a reading age of about 10 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
