Sammy The Swimming Satellite (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781456785529)

Let me quickly explain how a satellite called Sammy has ended up swimming in the sea when he should be floating in space. Well what happens is, Sammy was built using as many old equipment parts that were found in the store room, and although he was built with everything working, the rocket that was to take him into space went wrong. It was decided by the professors that designed him that because he had been made mostly out of old parts that would have been thrown away, it was cheaper to just sink him into the sea and build another, rather than leave him floating in the wrong place in space and find other things for him to do. After being splashed into the sea, he sank to the bottom where all the fish became very interested in him, as they had never seen a satellite before. When Generator the big electric eel was doing his investigation Sammy was moved by the tide and out of fright Generator gave Sammy an electric shock. This started Sammy's computers working which enabled Sammy to talk to the fish, who then helped him to get his big solar array arms extended. These are what Sammy uses to get electricity from the sun to power his batteries and all the other equipment that is part of Sammy. Mickey the big Manta Ray then teaches Sammy how to swim using his solar arrays which now will enable Sammy to travel all over the world.
