'One day, Joshie is eating breakfast when a fancy robot thingy arrives in a box. The cool thing? It’s actually an incredibly sophisticated droid. The not-so-cool thing? It’s programmed to babysit Joshie while his mum is at work (which is ALL THE TIME).
 
'Joshie has scared off a LOT of babysitters, but that’s only because he DOESN’T NEED A BABYSITTER. And he has big plans to get rid of this one too. But he’s not counting on Droid Dude being kinda fun – or all the whole new level of sticky, icky messes you can get into when your babysitter has an off switch!' (Publication Summary)

'This book is the first in So Wrong, described by the publisher as ‘a humorous, hyperactive kind of series that targets 10-13 year old reluctant readers’. The series even has an accompanying website, www.sowrongbooks.com, and book club that hopefully will attract kids who wouldn’t ever normally join a book club....'
