â[An] unrelentingly funny sc-fi story.â âBCCB (starred review)
Stranger Things meets robots in this sweet and ânoteworthyâ (Booklist) story about an unlikely friendship between two boysâone human, one android.
Dannyâs a kid. Ericâs a kid, too. Heâs also a robot, but he doesnât know that.
For Danny, it becomes hard to ignore Ericâs super strange tendencies. He has weekly âdentistâ appointments and parents who never stop smiling. Itâs almost impossible to wake him up and heâs always getting fancy gifts from his mysterious uncle. Danny always assumed that Eric was just a spoiled rich kidâŚuntil he discovers Ericâs hidden robot reality.
As the two friends dig deeper into Ericâs origins and purpose, powerful forces swarm into town, and Danny and Eric are left with more questions than answersâand more danger than humanly possible.
