About the Book:

Ms Raboto is a robot teacher who is introduced to a class of under-achievers. It is believed that her teaching style will greatly improve their grades. If she manages to achieve this, more robot teachers will be created.
The father of one of the main characters (Kyle), is a scientist and head of a programme called ‘The Robotic Teaching System’. When Ms Raboto shows signs of viruses and interference in her circuits, Kyle’s father is there to cover up for her. But her virus gets stronger and stronger and soon he cannot ignore it.
He tries to blow her up and it works... or does it...?
All of this happens while Kyle and his friends prepare for the biggest showdown ever... The Soccer Showdown!
Kyle and his friends accidentally find clues that lead to what Ms Raboto has been planning and they realise that it is time to intervene.

About the Author:

Kyle has always been an avid reader and writer. Even before he had the ability to write, at about the age of four, he would make simple books, draw pictures in them and tell his mother what words to write in them. He’d then sell these ‘books’ to family members to generate his own pocket money!
He wrote this story at the age of 10 as a Grade 5 learner at Turfhall Primary School. His teachers have always been very encouraging and often allowed him to read his stories to his classmates during the reading period.

This is his first publication.
