What would you do if you were kidnapped by alien robots?

Ruby Palmer finds herself on an entire planet surrounded by the things she hates the most: robots. Besides taking everything she says way too literally, the robots have problems of their own. A myriad of technical glitches are, on the cosmological scale, quickly destroying them. Ruby has the programming knowledge and skills that matter to them, but can she overcome her fears and find it within herself to help? Her survival, along with the survival of all of humanity and robot kind, depends on it.

If you adore all the charming and delightful robots in sci-fi from R2D2 to Wall-E to Bender to Marvin to Johnny 5, you'll love The Robot Galaxy Series!

Classic sci fi story, crafted through post digital eyes
What would reading reading Arthur Clarke be like if he had seen every science fiction movie and consumed all of the sci fi written to this point. Clarke was first a scientist, then an Author, which is what we have here with Mignogna. Her book is fun not bleak which is unique in science fiction these days. I enjoyed reading this book and can’t wait to finish the next two and review them for you. Ruby it’ll be ok.

I came into reading this book after reading a book that was a very "heavy" emotional read. I needed something light hearted and this book rose to my attention.
It follows a common theme for me to enjoy. Young character under duress finds inner strength and creative solutions.
Also great "side kicks".
This book has it all in spades. I hope the remaining chapters continue the trend.

I was pleasantly surprised by this story line. It's not very often I come across a new idea in scifi and I read a lot of it. This story is thoughtful and pleasant and moves along at an enjoyable pace. Well done.

3.0 out of 5 stars The jury is still out

Interesting concept. Not a bad read to be rejected out of hand but it seems to be one of those series that might need a second book under the belt before a serious evaluation can be made. Like I said, the jury is still out.

Luckily, I bought the first four in a bundle and have number two queued up. This jury will continue deliberations.

I like the main character of Ruby; it was an interesting take on humans and robots, and I look forward to continuing the series. This is a good mystery read, just what I was looking for. Good for young folk and oldies alike, (like me!), who don't like violence, car chases, or swearing...recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars a fun imagining of an alien robot society
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2023

Thus was a fun, clever read about a young human, abducted by some rogue robots for her DNA. The ensuing path to understanding between robot and the human, Ruby, is very cleverly done. I only wish the philosophical questions of the author on creation- whether human or robot, were pointed to God being our creator. That answers the questions simply and truthfully.
A clever, fun romp through robot, alien society 😀👍

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun with surprisingly deep philosophical thoughts!
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2023

I really enjoyed this book. It seems to be aimed at middle school or slightly older readers, but as an old man, I still really enjoyed it!
What surprised me the most was that as fun and often funny as the story was, there are a lot of truly thought provoking philosophical questions that are briefly explored. That is exciting!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, easy to read, not too technial
Reviewed in Canada on December 7, 2022

Adeena really brings together a great fictional tale here about 'AI', and Robots. The character of Ruby is well portrayed hero figure who slowly learns to grapple with her fear of 'AI' though an unexpected series of events. The storyline is easy to follow, and has some fun technical references (eg: blockchain as a religion!), but not too technical, just the right amount! 100% recommend to anyone who likes Sci Fi books and robots!

Wonderfully Original! That is the word that best suits Crazy Foolish Robots: A Humorous Science Fiction Book by Adeena Mignogna. Set in outer space, the tale starts on a Space Station on a large asteroid named Astroll 2, located in the heart of the asteroid belt. While numerous spacecraft are tracked and marked as incoming and outgoing all the time, on this particular occasion an unidentified craft occupied by a lone, intelligent robot named Swell Driver, approaches from outside the human-known solar system. Coincidentally, Ruby Palmer, a young girl with 428 days still left for adulthood at age 21, chooses that particular day to break away from the controlled regimen of her life, by surreptitiously launching herself out from Astroll 2 on a small Spaceship incongruously named Apple Pi. Her meeting with Swell Driver, her kidnapping along with Apple Pi, and the rollicking adventure that follows is enjoyable in the extreme. Amazing protagonists from Swell Drivers so called Planet like 'Great Data Organizer' or 'Fine Data Organizer' along with others named Honest Editor and Fastidious Mechanic and many many more. I enjoyed this wonderful humorous novel and for originality both in characterization and story, I award it a 5 Stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love the Software Engineering Concepts
Reviewed in Australia on April 26, 2023

I really enjoyed Crazy Foolish Robots.
It comes across as YA, however Adeena has cleverly filled it with software engineering concepts. Compression algorithms. Data storage. Programming languages. Comms protocols. As a software engineer myself, I love the idea of using fiction to impart this kind of technical knowledge on the masses.
This story reminds me a little of the old TV series, Lost in Space. It's an enjoyable romp through space, meeting aliens (in this case robots), and solving mysteries. And crazy robots.
Lots of them.
