moved into the old cottage of his recently-dead uncle Jonah Bloom - a scientist and professor at the university The place is in disarray - and although Auden's mother tells him it's because Jonah was a messy old thing Auden knows differently Someone else did this - someone who was looking for something of Jonah's Auden had heard too that Jonah was working on something that could cure Auden's condition - could this be it? Then Auden and Vivi make an extraordinary discovery Hidden away under the shed at the bottom of Jonah's garden is an engimatic and ingenious robot who calls himself Paragon A talking walking human-like robot Apparently built by Jonah - but why? The answer to this will take Auden and Vivi on a thrilling journey of discovery as they seek to find out just what exactly Paragon
is - and what link he has to Auden - and find that the truth is bigger and more wonderful than either of them could have imagined
