This is book 2 in the series. My kids and I are all reading and enjoying them. This one was no exception. This is a great series with short chapters so even kids who don't love reading can get into it and feel like they've accomplished something big.
It is a good book
I read the first book in the series aloud to my 4th grade class. I bought the book so my students could choose to read it on their own. I wanted to read it first. I loved how it built off the first book, but it had a lot of plot changes I wasn't expecting. I think those who loved the first book will also love this one!
My son and I, he's 9 was 8 when we started with the first book in the series, love this story. Roz is an interesting character who you really just fall in love with even though she's just a robot. It is a nice.story about understanding our environment and how we need to take care of things and watch what we do because it can indeed affect those around us. We had a good time reading this series and recommend it for anyone who is looking for a cutesy fun story with a tad of suspense built in. Nothing to terrible but it leaves you wanting to read more.
I teach 4th grade and this is a book that I have added to my rotation in the last few years. This is a great book series in general. It covers some really important topics, like fitting in, bullying, etc, but in a softer way. It provides for great discussions with my older students. I read the first book and then this one. We are saving the 3rd book for later in the kids and the kids are really looking forward to it. Plus I love that's it's written in 2nd person. Not many books do that anymore.
My 10 year old loved this book. He can’t wait for the movie now! He hates reading too, so this is the first book he read to the end.
My 10 year old read this book and immediately begged me to order the next one!
Review from a 10 year old boy: “I love the book it is super fun to read and the characters are very interesting. It is a great book for me and I think it’s worth reading if you’re interested in futuristic and science-fiction books.”
