Résumé :
Since the age of six, Jessie had longed to be a specialist police dog handler. After only two years in the Yarlborough Police Force, it seemed that her dream was about to come true. That was when it had all gone terribly wrong. Poor Jessie had discovered that she was allergic to dog fur and was forced to leave her dream and her beloved police dog, Rufus, behind. So now she was a 'droner' and Jessie hated it, but she had soon mastered the controls of the drones - little flying cameras. Jessie wanted to be out with Rufus, chasing and catching criminals, not collecting evidence for other cops to use. Still, it came as quite a shock when she was summoned to the Police Captain's office. Was she about to be fired from the drone unit? Could things get any worse for her? But then the Captain recommended her for a new project, a project which was top-secret for now. Could Jessie finally find job satisfaction and happiness in a police laboratory? And what exactly did they do in this mysterious, top-secret project? Droners is a highly original tale which will delight children with its humour, lively details and captivating characters....
