IT’S A BIRD, IT’S A PLANE, IT’S… MACHINE BOY!
When Machine Boy falls from the sky into the domed city of Mega 416, he leaves a wake of destruction in his path… until Karate Grandpa is
able to turn on his heart. Now, Machine Boy wants nothing more than
to become a hero! Whether he’s fighting giant bugs in the school’s basement, rescuing cats from trees, or making the perfect spaghetti sauce, Machine Boy is always looking for the best way to help others. But when his heart begins to interact dangerously with other debris from space, Machine Boy wonders if he can be a power for good after all.
Rising stars Tri Vuong and Irma Kniivila create a funny and engaging adventure that asks—can you override your own programming?
