alanefraireFOUND: 'The Accidental Hero' or 'Jack Blank and the Imagine Nation'
Boy am I glad I found this community.
I read this book ages ago, it was in my school library and I read the entire series. I remember loving it, and now I can't find it again.
I remember there was a kid who was in an orphanage, or a boys home, or something like that, and it was extremely strict. The group were going on a trip and he was hiding in the library (?) where he had hidden a bunch of comic books he was told to throw out. Some of them had pages ripped or damaged, so he made up his own endings to the stories. He was found by one of the caretakers (?), and forced to join the trip. I remember one of the kids teasing him and making him so mad that the lights in the bus blew out and he was forced to stay back and do chores, because everything was blamed on him (it was his fault always anyway).
He had to go down to the basement at some point and a robot from one of the comic books came out and attacked him, saying stuff about the robot prince or something? He ended up blowing up the robot (?) in the garden, and he hid the parts of the robot and didn't tell anyone until this random old dude came to pick him up from the orphanage. He was then taken to a secret island that can only be accessed at a certain time of the year, where he found all his favourite comics were real. Some guy had visited the island and turned the stories he heard into comics. When he arrived they checked him over for some sort of virus and he tested positive, but the old dude managed to convince security he was clean.
This was all in the first few chapters by the way. I'm really upset because I can remember so much of the book but I cannot, for the life of me, remember the title. It was one word.
In the following books he joined a training academy for the best of the best, found out the robot prince was living inside him and was tricked into meeting the robot princes father, under the assumption it was his father. He got taken to the mothership, where the robot prince took over his body. I remember a part where he related what was happening to something from the comics, where one of the main characters got taken over by the robot virus, but the rest of the comic had been torn up, so he had made up an ending for it. Then his friends tried to save him, but the robot had taken over and he had sort of merged or something with it and they tried to take over the world and one of their friends died or something?
I'm also pretty sure it was a trilogy. If anyone could help me, I would be forever grateful.

(Also, i don't know how to tag so if someone could help out with that, that'd be great!)
