BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
Zuzu’s dad has been fired and as compensation, his bosses gave him a SNAP (Secure Network Android Processor) - a robot. Skeptical at first, because robots are also spies for the government, Zuzu’s friends do something to the robot which seems to reboot its system and its personality. Eking out life in a dusty Subsidized Camp becomes more interesting now that the kids have a robot on their side. But SNAP needs a new battery, as his charger is broken.
If you students enjoyed The Wild Robot (https://kissthebook.blogspot.com/2016/06/the-wild-robot-by-peter-brown-essential.html) and its sequels, they will enjoy being directed towards Kelly’s offering. The ending is a little more melancholy, but very realistic in a dystopian community, without being harsh.
