She designs computers that can launch space missions. But she's not quite so good at ordinary, boring mum stuff! James is forever turning up at school without his dinner money or permission forms for outings. Then his mum has an idea - she'll make him a mother-robot.

But when James gets ill, he soon realizes that a computer could never replace his mum when he really needs her.
