It started as an ordinary school field trip. The bus pulled up; the kids got off. Their teacher told them where to explore and what to look out for. But when Code Lightfall spots what appears to be a tiny metallic bee, his world will never be the same again . . . literally.
This “bee” leads Code from his world into Mekhos—the land of robots. And with bizarre robotic creatures around every turn—from infinipedes with razor-sharp mandibles to giant slaughterbots to tiny nanoscopic creatures that dissolve everything in their path—Mekhos is as dangerous as it is fantastical. It soon becomes clear that the only way for Code to get home is to embark on a daring rescue mission: find the object known as the Robonomicon before it falls into the hands of an evil ruler.
With new friends by his side, Code will journey from one end of Mekhos to the other in his quest to save himself—and all the robots—from impending doom. But as incredible as the adventure is, the biggest surprise is yet to come, when Code finds himself face-to-face with the last person he ever thought he’d see again. . . .

"Really good science fiction for a younger reader. I actually listened to this book and the narrator made it even better."
— Mary (4 out of 5 stars)
" Kids might like this, as it's really straightforward and there are lots of adventures. I found the writing kind of wooden. "
— Beth, 7/21/2013" relly nice and touching. i like the robotic eyes(read it!) "
— Alexandra, 7/7/2013" Kind of fun but more like a little kid book. "
— Brad, 1/25/2013" Great for 3rd-5th grade boys that loved to play with Transformers when they were younger and/or are really into technology. "
— Hoover, 8/31/2012" I had high hopes for this, but even if I were the age group at which it was aimed, I would think this outing by Wilson kinda lame. Definitely start out with Robopocalypse or Amped ... especially the latter. "
— Matt, 6/20/2012" i think the story is nice from code "
— Jonathan, 9/30/2011" A Boy and His Bot didn't interest me even though the narration was quite good. "
