High school student Charlie, has a
plan. He is determined to get his robotics club the school funding it needs to
enter a big competition. A key piece of this plan is to become President of the
school council in order to ensure the funding goes to them…not the
Cheerleaders. The cheerleaders are just as determined and force Nate, the
captain of the basketball team to run against his friend. When all else fails,
they whole lot of them team up to ensure their funding –entering their robot in
a death match local competition for money. Will these enemies be able to work together and triumph?
I really liked
this black and white graphic novel. It was a fun, fast paced read with lots of
easily distinguishable characters that were full of personality. I liked that
it wasn't romance heavy and the plot line was really creative. Why did I not
rate it as Essential? The artwork, is good enough to tell the story but not
exceptional.
