pickI had mixed feelings about this one at first, but I was highly engrossed with the story. I really wanted to know what was going to happen to Annie. Even though she was a robot, I couldn't help but empathize with her. The ending was quite satisfying. 4 ⭐️

“Roz was a robot, and she was not alive. But she was about to discover that being alive is not the same as being human”
pickI really like the themes of this book and how it‘s done in a way for a kid to understand. Even as an adult reader I took away the messages from this book
pickI love this book for young readers and the message about kindness and perseverance. I would definitely use this is my classroom around 4th grade.
pickI loved this - it made me so mad but also exposed some important truths. Annie is basically a sex robot, designed to be compliant & attuned to her owners emotions. As she becomes capable of independent thought her relationship with her owner becomes fraught. This book holds up a mirror to coercive relationships & issues of dominance & compliance (could be triggering for some) An innovative way to capture the experience of being dominated/coerced.
I really like this book. It has an awesome message of kindness and I think it‘d be a really good book to use in a lesson that talks about kindness and its importance.
so-soAudio. This second book feels like it was more written for kids than the first was. This was written halfway as the author speaking to the reader, which I‘m not a fan of. The story of Roz going home from the factory to the island was well rounded, enough worry to have deeper concepts. Though it felt too quick for something happening to have a full impact.
pickThe book is told from the perspective of Annie, an AI robot who is owned by a man. It follows her as she tries to grapple with ownership versus free will. It was insightful, and it made me think. It was also just a really good story. I would have been pissed had the ending gone a certain way.
