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

Brobot introduces Sally Tinker, the world's foremost inventor under the age of twelve. Convinced that she can create a superior sibling, Sally builds a robotic brother to replace her messy, smelly real one. Her invention, Brobot, is fantastic until the remote control breaks, sending Brobot into a chaotic frenzy. Sally then realises that perhaps there's more to having a sibling than just the hassles.
