It's not romance, exactly -- but it's definitely love." Beatrice, or Robot Girl, knows a thing or two about detachment. Without roots or friends, she grew up always moving from town to town with her parents. Now it's senior year of high school and she's starting from scratch again in Baltimore, Maryland, resigned to coast through the year without growing too fond of people and places she'll just have to say goodbye to in June. Then she meets Jonah the Ghost Boy, the one whose classmates held a mock funeral for in 7th grade. Despite his efforts to shut her out, the town misfits form a curious and endearing friendship over a late night radio program. Beautifully written, this story of heartache and friendship on the brink of growing or ending in the face of personal tragedy, will appeal to any age group. The themes are universal but told in a unique voice that makes this novel stand out from others of its kind. Beatrice and Jonah and full-blooded, irresistible characters, whose struggles are our struggles.
