In this intriguing volume, noted monstrologist and alienologist Johan Olander reveals the works of the talented inventor Lady Regina Bonquers III, a genius recluse who mysteriously disappeared in 1972. The collection includes some of the most fascinating robots ever seen — and some never before seen. Shown here are Lady Regina's sketches and notes, as well as marketing brochures, newspaper articles, and other artefacts of these machines. Inside you'll find:
- Interplanetary battle bots!
- Giant firefighting robots!
- Building bots going berserk!
- A pocket-sized Personal Grooming Robot (for plucking unwanted nose hairs)!
- The snuggliest, cuddliest hugging robot you've even seen, and more!
Discover these amazing inventions and form your own theories about what really happened to Lady Bonquers.
'This title will appeal to the subset of kids who enjoy DIY tinkering, creative problem-solving, programming, scientific jargon, and wry humor. It's Borges for kids.' — School Library Journal
'These visual additions give the book much of its personality and charm…serve to inspire readers to hunker down over their own sketchbooks in a loopy fit of creation.' — Booklist
'…Lady Bonquers is still remembered in 'the international circle of pseudoscientists and mad geniuses.' Here's hoping that this tribute will expand her renown to a wider audience.' — Kirkus Reviews
