Your Robot Dog Will Die by Arin Greenwood
4.0
This did not turn out at all how I thought it would. I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. I thought it was going to be relatively fluffy, but this book has claws. This book injured me.
Poor Nano is buffeted from side to side, has everything she believes torn into shreds and flipped over, and still manages to be true to herself. There's a romance, but it's not the focus, and a disturbingly cult like operation that, like the best dystopias, doesn't reveal itself until almost the end.
I'm taking a star off, though, because I'm not sure what age this is being marketed to. It reads too young for teens, but certain scenes might be very upsetting for younger kids. However, it would be a great starting point for a discussion about treating animals ethically and kindly, and about euthanasia, and these are not subjects I think children should be shielded from. Well done, Arin.
