In a secret underground laboratory, a little robot has just woken from a deep sleep. With the help of five robotic friends of his own creation, the little robot attempts to unlock the mystery of his missing creator, Professor Willoughby. 

This book, written by Luke C Jackson, illustrated by Antoine Toniolo, and published by Rubitron, was written on the request of the robots, who wanted to make their story as widely known as possible. In this way, they believe they will have the best chance of finding the Professor.

Help the robots find Professor Willoughby!

Now that the book has been released, the robots need your help.

Here's what you can do:

1. Read the story
2. Tell your friends, teachers and librarians about it
3. Keep an eye out for the Professor

Contact your favourite robot

If you've read the story and would like to send a message to Miboi, Roobot, Teapot, Birdbot, Picasso or Zippy, head over to the 'Meet the characters' page. There, you will find an email address for each robot. All of them love to hear from new friends!

Have you spotted Professor Willoughby?

The robots believe that it's impossible for somebody with as much talent as Professor Willoughby to stay hidden forever. If you think you've spotted the Professor, head over to whereistheprofessor.com, a website that was set up to follow the Professor's trail. You can let them know what you've found.
