“Mam, did you think George was,” I say, “a bit … weird?”
“Weird? Yes, I suppose so. But you kids are all a bit weird if you ask me. And to tell the truth, it’d be weird if you weren’t.”
When a new boy joins the class, everyone thinks he’s a bit strange, but he’s brilliant at football and loves crisps, and that’s all that matters to Dan and Maxie. However, the truth about George is stranger than anyone could have imagined … and more sinister, too. Can his new pals help him to become truly free?

This book took me a while to read, but in the end it was a bit sad. I enjoyed reading it and it made me think about how we treat people who are a bit different. I also thought about robots and how they can blend in with humans. I would recommend this book to people who like stories about robots.
