About this listen

For fans of Toy Story and Charlie Changes into a Chicken, this is the third hilarious, warm-hearted story about a small robot on a big adventure.

This is a thrill-ride of an adventure story, stuffed with fun, friendship and a large number of malfunctioning robot pets.

Boot was once a toy robot, but it has come a long way since it was scrapped and woke back up with only two-and-a-half glitchy memories. When Boot catches sight of a robot pet it used to know - Mr Piggles - our hero and pals follow it to a beautiful green square in the city of skyscrapers.

Here they find not just real nature, but also a haven for broken and rejected pets. They also meet the children who look after the pets and for whom this green space is a sanctuary too. But Boot is distracted by its emotions, swinging from happy to sad...maybe Boot is broken? Can it work out what is wrong, with the help of its friends?
