Product Description
Asha's new school is insane. Everyone has giant robots that launch out of their mobile phones!
She's only been there five minutes when the school bully challenges her to a fight. So now it's not just about figuring out who's cool and who isn't. She has to learn to pilot her Mo-bot. And fast.
But while Asha gets to grips with her Mo-bot's moves and customises her DMC, she's being watched... Her piloting skills are about to be put to the ultimate test, and there's nothing her new friends can do to help.
Thrilling titanic battles from the DFC Library

Mo-Bot Magic,
This review is from: DFC Library: Mo-bot High (Hardcover)
If Michael Bay were to make Grange Hill: The Movie, the result might be something like this. Except with half of Mo-bot High's wit, and a tenth of its plot.Young Asha starts at a new school where the usual playground games are considered a little too, well, childish. Here the kids entertain themselves with spectacular duels, donning Digital Mobile Combat-suits - effectively giant robots that - get this - materialise from their mobile phones. Take note, Apple. If this feature doesn't appear on the iPhone 5, I'm not buying. Cameron's artwork is a joy. His key elements all have their own style: human characters are colourful and distinctive, with a pleasing hand-drawn look; the deliberately drab 'real world' backgrounds contrast nicely with the vibrant geometry of the digital environments; and the robots themselves, all glowing joints and with a slightly retro vibe, are actually more Tron than Transformers. His writing is also spot-on - the story has a pleasing sense of its own absurdity, with teachers apparently oblivious to the mayhem being wrought under their noses (or rather over their heads), and dinner ladies who are not at all what they seem - and the kids' dialogue has the ring of truth, and lashings of deadpan humour. The book's title hints at a Part Two in the works. I'll be looking out for it - in the meantime, I thoroughly recommend Part One.

A refreshing take on a familiar tale,
By
This review is from: DFC Library: Mo-bot High (Hardcover)
Neill Cameron takes the familiar 'starting a new school' plot and gives it a bang up-to-date and refreshingly original twist. There are echoes of the sinister goings-on vibe of 'The Demon Headmaster' mashed up with great dollops of Transformers and Japanese-style trading card games.What makes it stand out though are not only the quality of the drawings - and they are very good - but the realistic characters and sly sense of humour. I particularly liked the fact that most of the characters are female, giving this book a universal appeal. Looking on his website, it seems that Neill does a fair bit of work in schools, and it shows in his writing. I loved the concept of the dinner ladies secretly running the whole school - something I have long suspected...
