I Am Battle Bot

Perfect grades. Overprotective mom. Zero freedom. Taj is the smartest kid in school-but he's also the most stressed-out, rule-following, anxiety-sanitized 12-year-old on Earth. His life is all straight A's, no sugar, and way too much hand sanitizer. That is... until Matthew rolls into town. Matthew wears sunglasses indoors.Eats candy for breakfast.And turns everything-even school-into an adventure.When Taj discovers his favorite show-Battle Arena War Robots-is holding a tournament six hours away, he does something he's never done before: he decides to break the rules. Build a robot. Win the fight. And live a little.One stolen car (sort of), a goat in the living room, a pit stop at the world's biggest yarn ball, and a surprise visit to his long-lost dad later-Taj and Matt are racing across state lines to make it to the arena. Their bot is weird. Their odds? Not great. But this duo's about to prove that when brains and chaos team up, anything is possible.
