Weird Little Robots by Carolyn Crimi
4.0
This is such a clever little book about making friends, losing friends, and then making them again.
Mean girls are not what they seem.
And weird girls are more fun then they seem.
Penny has no friends. She decides she wants to change that. She loves making little robots out of discarded bits of trash. She notices her neighbor Lark makes birdhouses from little bits of trash.
This is a charming story of wanting something, and working to it, and, with the help of a little magic getting it.
I was worried, as one should be, when Penny didn't recognize what a good friend she had in Lark. I was worried she would ruin her friendship.
Which I suppose is how books pull at your heartstrings.
Lovely moral which would be, don't throw away good friends, even if other friends look better.
The one quibble I have with the book is although I love the illustrations, they are not drawing the right phone for the robot called iPam, which is supposed to be based on the iPhone, but looks like a much older phone.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
