        Andro, streng geheim! - Emotionen und andere Störfaktoren (Band 2)

        by Kai Pannen

        Andro, Top Secret! - Emotions and other Disruptive Factors (Vol. 2)   Battery full and go!   At first glance, Andro Newman seems like a normal boy - but Andro is a robot who is secretly smuggled into a school class as a human boy. Mission: to explore the humans and not to be exposed under any circumstances.   Andro's undercover spy mission continues: visit the fifth grade of the Konrad Zuse School, gather information about the complicated species called "humans" and find true friends. However, one peculiarity of these humans remains a mystery to Andro: their illogical feelings. This costs the android a lot of friendship points. He installs an emotion module to connect with humans better - but secretly, of course. The ‘emotion’ module works and Andro earns a lot of friendship points! It even works too well and Andro is no longer master of his senses - sorry - of his cables and screws: Andro has to let Lilli in on it, and together they absolutely have to turn off the module.   • Situational comedy meets a great narrative voice • Varied layout with different fonts, vignettes and illustrations • Special hook: a robot goes undercover at school

Meanwhile, his "parents" want to take him apart and build a better robot from the parts, since Andro's friendship score is so bad. Andro wants to give up the silly point collecting and enjoy the trip, but technical disturbances and lack of energy supply create new problems. Fellow student Marko is annoying and Julius constantly wants to prove that he is better at everything. Mr. Lembke is still convinced that Andro is a robot and wants to prove his suspicions on the class trip.• Dynamic layout with lots of fonts, vignettes and illustrations• Situational comedy meets a great narrative voice• Special hook: a robot goes undercover at school• The narrative perspective from the point of view of an artificial intelligence offers a lot of humor potential
