Reach for this book when your child is navigating the tricky waters of a changing team dynamic or feeling the pressure of meeting high expectations. While it appears to be a silly caper on the surface, it speaks directly to the anxiety of being 'replaced' and the importance of patience when working with someone who processes the world differently. It is an ideal pick for reluctant readers who need high-visual engagement to stay focused. The story follows Mango as he partners with RoboBrash, a high-tech replica of his usual partner who is currently in a coma. Together, they must stop a giant ant invasion orchestrated by eccentric villains. Through the absurd humor and endless puns, the book explores themes of loyalty, adapting to change, and the idea that being 'perfect' or programmed isn't as valuable as having a true friend. It is perfectly suited for children aged 7 to 10 who appreciate slapstick comedy and fast-paced mysteries.
