Blast off on the biggest micro-adventure yet with the popular Project X characters Max, Cat, Ant and Tiger and their new robot micro-friend, Eight. Carefully levelled and highly motivating, this book is ideal for independent reading.

The micro-friends accidentally wake up an ancient and terrifying rust monster called Rustan! When Rustan touches the Excelsa, the crew have to make an emergency landing on a nearby planet, Mechio (a planet of metal robots), before their ship crumbles with rust. Unfortunately Rustan follows them to the metallic planet. Ant comes up with a plan to help the Mechions get rid of Rustan for good, but time is running short
