ANDY ROID AND THE FIELD TRIP TERROR

When you're half boy, half machine, it's hard not to be a hero. Andy's trying to live an ordinary life, despite his extraordinary powers… But when a field trip goes terribly wrong, should he save the day and risk blowing his cover? With the evil Dr Baffi on his trail, it could be the last decision he'll ever make!

Andy heard police sirens howling in the distance. He couldn't believe it. It was like something from a full-on action blockbuster. But this was no movie. This was the real deal... Andy's trying to live an ordinary life, despite his extraordinary powers? But when a field trip goes terribly wrong, should he save his new friends and risk blowing his cover? With the evil Dr Baffi on his trail, it could be the last decision he'll ever make! As action-packed as Ben 10 or a James Bond movie, the six Andy Roid books are the next big thing in series fiction for boys.

Felice Arena is one of Australia's best-loved children's writers. He is the author and creator of many popular and award-winning children's books including the Boyz Rule series, the Girlz Rock series, Wish, Bravo Billy, Breakaway John, Dolphin Boy Blue, Mission Buffalo, the Farticus Maximus books and, of course, the Specky Magee books.

Boys won't be able to resist Andy - he's a superhero with a twist, the Six Million Dollar Man for kids. Each book is one 'episode' in the series story - we meet Andy as he finds out what he's capable of and deals with keeping his secret hidden, and then when the bad guys get the upper hand, we see him take the fight to them and battle to save his family. Every scene is funny and fast-paced - and the relationships between Andy and his friends and family make this all feel very real.
