A more threat-driven instalment with Wolfram's revenge plot and a stronger sense of danger around Alex and Freddy's family. Still funny and accessible, but a notch more intense than the opening books.

What’s it about?
The story.
Alex and Freddy are used to robot trouble, but Wolfram is not just another enemy. Half-destroyed, furious and out for revenge, he lures the Mega Robo Bros into a trap and sets his sights on London. Even worse, his obsession seems to connect to the boys' mum, turning the danger from another superhero mission into something more personal. Robot Revenge keeps the series' core strengths intact: fast comic pacing, explosive action, sibling bickering and a warm family dynamic underneath the chaos. But this third book also raises the stakes, giving readers a villain with a clearer grudge and a stronger through-line into the wider series. It is best for readers who have already met Alex, Freddy and their family in the first two reformatted volumes.

In the classroom
How it works in school.
A fast, funny robot-superhero comic series — a reluctant-reader magnet and classroom-library staple.
A book children love that happens to support school — never a stand-in for the texts a class is taught with. Reviewed for the classroom · June 2026.
Why it lands
Why they love it.
Why kids love it
The specific shift is the threat getting personal — Wolfram's revenge plot turns out to be tangled with Alex and Freddy's mum, and the danger stops being just superhero action and starts being family. A reader feels the series tighten around something more emotional.
- Surviving danger
- Magic powers
- Secret skill
- Proving yourself
- Friendship and belonging
Why parents love it
The Mega Robo Bros where the threat becomes personal — Wolfram's revenge connects directly to the boys' family, and the action acquires real weight. More intense than the first two. Best for a child already invested; the family-threat angle needs the previous setup.
- Shared humour
