(3) 4-6 "This one is special," says the note accompanying a sharp-edged tin robot from twelve-year-old Alex's grandfather. Soon Alex and his urbane, mysterious grandfather are pursued from Paris to Prague by robotic assassins after Alex's robot, which hides the secret to reanimating the legendary Golem. The entertaining plot proceeds at full tilt with multiple chases, fights, and escapes; some mysteries remain unresolved, suggesting a sequel.
