narrowly escaping robbers and returning to old friends, Hugo
discovers more than just buried treasure ...

A Robot Squashed My Teacher is the laugh-out-loud, wacky adventure by Pooja Puri brilliantly illustrated by Allen Fatimaharan, the sequel to the Marcus Rashford Book Club Selected book A Dinosaur Ate My Sister.
Before you start reading, there are a few things you should know:
1. I, Esha Verma, am a genius inventor extraordinaire.
2. I like lists.
3. I did not mean to turn my teacher into a pigeon. Some things just can't be helped.
Esha Verma, her snotty apprentice Broccoli and his secretly cunning pet tortoise have a dream. They are going to win the legendary Brain Trophy – the ultimate inventing prize. This year's entry: The RoarEasy – a gadget that lets the user speak to animals.
But when Esha's arch-nemesis, fellow inventor Ernie, lands her in detention, the RoarEasy malfunctions and suddenly Monsieur Crépeau is TRANSFORMED INTO A PIGEON.
Luckily for Esha, she knows exactly what she needs to repair her invention and where to find it: locked away in the mysterious Central Research Laboratories.
She, Broccoli, Archibald and Monsieur Crépeau will have to go undercover and break into the labs before the competition to return Monsieur Crépeau to his human form. And with Ernie following them, determined to foil their plans as they face giant robots, killer plants, shrinking machines, robo-spiders, clouds that make you float and terrifying twisters, they're going to need all the help they can get to get out of this wacky pickle.
When Matt, Jo, and Dad embark on a new mission at the Cassell

frozen landscape for fossils in peace. But after their precious

the trio soon realise the danger of being stuck in coldest, most
desolate place on earth. About The Dinosaur Detectives series: The

Now that he's twelve, he's allowed to join his father on an
exciting search for dinosaur eggs in the Amazonian rainforest - too
bad his annoying eleven-year-old cousin, Jo, is tagging along. Even
worse, it looks like Matt's dad's rival is following them! Who will

What happens when the girl who could fly can't fly anymore? Piper's
ability has disappeared, perhaps the result of some dark spell put
on her, or perhaps because her ability has simply vanished forever.
There is a worldwide calamity that Piper, Conrad, and their
exceptional friends must tackle to save the planet, but Piper is
left behind. If she can't fly, then what use is she? Piper learns
she can't do a lot of things - cook, clean, and help Ma around the
house, for example. She feels more helpless than ever. It is the
'normal' kids around her, kids she felt never liked her before, who
end up helping her believe in herself again. Does she fly again?
Yes. And in the process, she learns that life is always
exceptional, and 'abilities' come in many forms.
