Archie the cat, Sparky the mouse and Flo the bird have found a new home in a school, and can't resist helping out by using their special robot skills. They have to do it in secret, though, so none of the adults find out. When one of the children they have befriended accidentally causes a school computer to break, Archie promises to fix the problem.
But then Archie starts to behave strangely. . . What's got into him? It's almost as if his programming has gone haywire! The Petbots realise he has downloaded a virus, and it's up to Flo, Sparky and their new human friends to work out a cure before Archie shuts down for good!
Archie the Petbot cat, Sparky the mouse and Flo the bird may be robots with special high-tech skills, but they are obsessed with TV show The Pet Factor - where talented pets show off and compete for top prizes. When auditions for the show come to town, the petbots get their human friends - children Jack, Anya and Sophie - to smuggle them into the studios to watch.
But pets tipped for stardom are going missing! When Sophie is given a warning to keep her cat out of the semi-finals, Archie volunteers to dress up and act like a real cat in his place. But can a robot be convincing as a real animal? And when Archie is pet-napped, how are the others ever going to rescue him?
Packed with brilliant Petbot pictures by the author herself!
Meet Archie the cat, Sparky the mouse and Flo the bird - three pets built by a brainy professor to be the perfect robo-friends!
But when the Professor goes away, their quiet life is turned upside down. The Petbots are forced to leave their house and use all of their special robot powers to survive the dangers of the outside world!
The right base for a robot is hard to find, but could a school full of children be the new home they are looking for?
