Twelve year old Axel would prefer to stay home and play video games all day rather than get outdoors like his mom would like him to. All that is about to change when a monstrous robot shows up in his garage. Suddenly, Axel finds himself in a real life game as we works to save this surprise visitor.

This fast moving, funny and action packed book is just the first in a series of Axel & Beast books by Adrian C. Bott. It’s a great read for kids who love video games, technology or robots. The book is leveled at around a 3rd or 4th grade reading level, but has illustrations and some bold words throughout to keep even reluctant readers engaged.
