George the Flybot and the Golden Owl of France [Paperback] Schwarz, Nessa Bellido and Fruchter, Jason

GEORGE the Flybot is back - and he's revved up and ready for a real-life treasure hunt! This time, he's off to the French countryside in search of an owl statuette sculpted by Michel Becker and buried back in 1993. If GEORGE finds the owl, he can use the prize money to make a difference in the life of his first human friend, Petey. But when GEORGE crosses flight paths with a pack of robotic pigeons on the same mission, he finds himself on a high-stakes race to the finish line! Book 2 in the GEORGE the Flybot series.
