Three friends build a robot that runs away to a birthday party with stolen cupcakes.

When Ed, Ava, and Fuzz build a super-duper robot from a kit, they expect it to do amazing things. But when the robot races off with three cupcakes from Cat's birthday party, the friends must chase it down! This charming story celebrates problem-solving, friendship, and focusing on what someone CAN do rather than what they can't—with a delightfully unexpected party ending.
