(4) 4-6 Loner Danny forges an unlikely friendship with awkward yet popular Eric. After Danny discovers his new friend is actually an android, the boys seek the truth behind Eric's creation. Alternating between Danny's and Eric's perspectives, this sci-fi mystery explores the possible "humanity" of robots and criticizes rampant consumer culture. Despite a one-dimensional villain and flat supporting characters, the compelling central friendship drives this story.
