When Alex is sent a toy robot by his grandfather, he thinks nothing of it - until he finds himself acting oddly, and strange things happening around him. One night, as he is being attacked in his room by other little robots, his beloved grandfather shows up and spirits him away. And that's when Alex starts to learn that his grandfather isn't all the he appears - and fairy tales may not always be just stories.
This was a good book, great for middle-graders. It's unique and imaginative, the pace is good, and the characters are interesting. There's a lot of action, between the chasing and the getting chased, of Alex and his grandfather - but no serious violence, so it would be appropriate for most ages. Honestly, it would make an excellent read-aloud for a classroom setting or at home.
The story was resolved (no spoilers), however it would be possible for a sequel, based on how events played out. I can honestly say that if a sequel were to happen, I would certainly enjoy reading it!
