Product Description
All Half wants is a life free from Electricians. He's sick of being shoved into remote controls, clocks and talking toys. But it's hard to escape when you're a rechargeable lithium-ion AA battery. Half dreams of adventure. Real adventure. The kind he just doesn't … have … the … energy … for. Then he meets Hope, a brave little alkaline with a spark of her own. Together, they set off to see how far two batteries can really go. To the edge of the lounge room? The borders of the house? Beyond … into Space? There's just one catch: Half doesn't hold charge like he used to. Can a half-full battery still go the distance?
