The Invention That Smelled Like Old Cheese

The Meca-Turbo Project: Diary of a Bedroom Engineer

Par Paul Mercatier

Leo, eight years old, is not a child who plays. He is a high-level engineer trapped in a little boy's body. His goal: to build the 'Trash-Titan 3000', a giant robot capable of tidying his room for him. Armed with adhesive tape that doesn't stick where it should, pea cans, and a poorly rinsed old Greek yogurt pot, he launches into a race against time before his mother returns. But a robot without a motor is just a pile of junk. Leo then sets his sights on Turbo, the family cat, to become the energy heart of his machine. An adventure where fluid physics meets the smell of expired cheese and the claws of an uncooperative feline.
