Synopsis

Gilbert and Jade, despite their differences, are the very best of friends. Gilbert is serious and aloof and fancies himself to be the world's greatest scientist one day. Jade, on the other hand, is imaginative, loves to daydream and is naturally caring, but won't stand for any nonsense.

Gilbert would never admit it, but Jade is the one that really wears the trousers. Here, the pair meets the eccentric Professor Boson who inadvertently takes them to a future world where the only people are robots. The friends also get an interesting lesson in recycling…

About the Author

Richard Ward was born in a small Yorkshire town where he spent his first 40 years. Finding inspiration from rides out in the country, he wrote far-flung stories and painted pictures. He bought a house in Bulgaria, grew fruit and vegetables in the garden, and thrived in a gorgeous landscape and on the warmth and friendliness of the local people. He now lives in Colorado where the mountains still fill him with awe, and the almost constant sunshine continues to lift his spirit.
