Heroman

"Like most teens at Central City Middle School, Joey Jones is in desperate need of a hero. But the hero of his desire isn't someone in tights, instead it's the latest technological fad, a remote-controlled bot called The Heybo. Without much in terms of savings, Joey's little hero seems out of reach, but in a twist of fate not only does he come to possess one of these machines, his new Heroman comes to life to help him save the earth from alien invasion!"--Publisher's description.
