A centuries old, antique robot is found abandoned in the Forbidden Zone on Halloween Day. Eleven year-old twins Kasdan and Lane Montgomery are certain that with a little skill and a bit of luck they can repair him. When he awakens, they name him Rusty.

Young readers will love the story of Rusty and his new life as he learns over the next year about the different holiday seasons. His enthusiastic, funny, and refreshing way of viewing family traditions and human interaction will help readers see their own lives in new ways!
