George is great with robots, he has even built his own, named
Jackbot. Jackbot is really his friend, maybe his only friend. When Jackbot gets
hit by a car, George meets Anne. Turns out Anne is the daughter of a man who
part owns a giant tech company, the one that makes all the robots that people
use in their day to day lives. When they go to the workshop at her house George
is able to fix up Jackbot and with better parts, he almost seems to be thinking
for himself. When Jackbot goes missing, George is determined to find him. But
dark forces are at work and George finds himself facing off against the person
he would least expect.
This book is a fantastic read, I felt like I was there or
watching a move. Not only that but it has an appealing cover and great
illustrations. This has been one of my favorite reads this year! The characters
were well crafted, the world fully realized, and the plot was fast paced yet
full of important tiny details. I think upper elementary students will love this book!
