Description: Multi-billionaire, Jensen Hazard, has just opened an Academy for 13-year-old human children and robots. However, none of the pupils know what they are. Nico is one of these pupils. When the Academy's collective tasks progress into more competitive and dangerous activities, it seems that Hazard is trying to pit robots against humans. Why is he doing this? Nico struggles to find out, but is he a robot or a human? Robots v Humans is part of the Toxic series, published by Ransom Publishing, a specialist publisher for reluctant and struggling readers. The Toxic books offer exciting, shorter stories (just 48pp each) for readers who may find longer books too daunting, but who still want fast-paced, adventure stories. Robots v Humans is ideal for reluctant readers aged 9-12 with a reading age of 8-11.
