The answer to this will take Auden and Vivi on a thrilling journey of discovery as they seek to find out just what exactly Paragon is - and what link he has to Auden - and find that the truth is bigger and more wonderful than either of them could have imagined.

I loved it so much! It's all about friendship, adventure, excitement and mystery and it's quite clever! I would highly recommend this book to family and friends.

A fantastic read for year 6 with themes of friendship and what it is to be human. The characters were very likeable: sarcastic Auden (who suffers from achromatopsia (an inability to see colour), his newfound studious friend Vivi and Paragon the very humanlike robot. Set in a time where water is so scarce that people have gone to war over it, the children and robot set out on a mission to uncover the mysterious secret project Auden's Uncle has been working on. If you like a mystery with adventure and action thrown in along the way, this book comes highly recommended from me.

This book is about a boy called Auden Dare . He is colour blind and goes on a mission to find his uncle’s invention. I don’t have a favourite character but Paragon is the funniest . I would improve it just By making it better at the start as it took a while to properly start. It’s an amazing story and I would recommend it to anybody.

A story about a boy who is colour blind. He is moving house into a place called unicorn cottage. It had an interesting start to a book that made me want to read more. One word review: strange

This book is good and has a twist at the end which I loved, but it wasn't really my sort of book. I thought it was going to be more about him being colour blind, but it wasn't. One word review: futuristic

One of my favourites! Very exciting. My favourite character is Vivi because she is a very clever person. I defindaly reccommend it to anyone aged 9-12.

I think you should read this book because it is griping to find out what machine it is and what the robots (Paragon) perpoes is.
