Jonny Zucker - Author
A brisk science-fiction mystery about an academy that may be engineering conflict between humans and robots. Its central appeal is Nico’s investigation, alongside uncertainty about identity and the founder’s purpose.
Multi-billionaire, Jensen Hazard, has just opened an Academy for 13-year-old human children and robots. However, none of the pupils know what they are. Nico is one of these pupils. When the Academy's collective tasks progress into more competitive and dangerous activities, it seems that Hazard is trying to pit robots against humans. Why is he doing this? Nico struggles to find out, but is he a robot or a human? Robots v Humans is part of the Toxic series, published by Ransom Publishing, a specialist publisher for reluctant and struggling readers. The Toxic books offer exciting, shorter stories (just 48pp each) for readers who may find longer books too daunting, but who still want fast-paced, adventure stories. Robots v Humans is ideal for reluctant readers aged 9-12 with a reading age of 8-11.

Nico does not know whether they are a robot or a human while attending an academy with both groups.
Hazard’s academy moves from collective tasks towards competitive and dangerous activities, apparently setting robots against humans.
Consider whether the book’s treatment of humans and robots becomes more nuanced than its apparent conflict.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
