Even a peacemaking robot has his limits! In this heartwarming graphic novel by #1 New York Times bestselling creator Michael Rex, Fred travels all over the barren land to spread his message of compassion, but then a glitch turns him . . . mean! Can he be fixed, or is the world’s nicest robot gone forever?
★ “In Rex’s big-hearted comic . . . Fred’s gentleness proves healing in this humorous volume about the power of kindness.” —Publishers Weekly on Your Pal Fred
Everyone knows about Fred and his mission to make the world a kinder place. In fact, the feel-good robot has never met a person he couldn’t convince to play nice . . . until now.
When Fred discovers the Tomorrow Sphere, a secret community that has survived the apocalypse in luxury—blankets! Medicine! Unlimited ice cream!—he’s delighted that people in need can soon be helped. But despite all Fred’s pleading, the Tomorrow Sphere leader absolutely, definitely, and totally refuses to share.
This ultimate act of selfishness shocks Fred and causes him to glitch out and turn mean. If they won’t share, he’ll have to make them! With war looming and his friends in despair, it’s up to Fred to fix his nasty glitch . . . or ruin all the goodness he’s created in the world.
