Fiction (8 to 12 years)

The fifth book in the bestselling series sees Luke face his greatest fear yet, one that's surprisingly close to home...

Luke's dad has bought a lot of gadgets recently and not one of them works as it's supposed to. Maybe it's because a machine-from-the-future is stalking Bromley, playing havoc with all the tech and trying to stop Star Lad going on a date.

Could this be the Rise of the Machines? Luke knows what he must do - he just needs his fellow SCARF members to help or it will be the end of everything...
