(UK) 2020"--Title page verso. 520 $a "From the boundless imagination of David Almond comes a thought-provoking question, packaged in a lively illustrated chapter book: what if a robot went to school? When a new boy joins their class, everyone thinks he's . . . odd. George doesn't behave like other kids. He doesn't think like other kids. But he's great at football and snacking, and that's what matters to Dan and Maxie and friends, who resolve to make George feel welcome. Over time, they learn that he's just like them, in most ways, except one: George is a robot, part of an ambitious new experiment, with sinister people bent on destroying him. When his lab pulls him out of school, can George's new friends recover him--and set him free? Told in David Almond's signature rollicking narrative style, this poignant tale about what it means to be human, paired with warm and funny black-and-white illustrations, will inspire children to think and giggle in equal measure."-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 1 $a 8-12 years. 521 2 $a Grades 3-7. 650 0 $a Robots $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Schools $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Schoolboys $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a School children $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Social acceptance $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Belonging (Social psychology) $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Juvenile fiction. 650 1 $a Robots $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Schools $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Schoolboys $v Fiction. 650 1 $a School children $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Social acceptance $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Belonging (Social psychology) $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 650 6 $a EÌcoles $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. 650 6 $a EÌcoliers $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. 650 6 $a EÌleÌves du primaire $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. 650 6 $a Acceptation sociale $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. 650 6 $a Appartenance (Psychologie sociale) $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. 650 6 $a AmitieÌ $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a AlteÌs, Marta, $e illustrator. 941 $a 8 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716035028.0 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207013443.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010033536.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230104013616.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20220903010250.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20220802010643.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20220802010149.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20220722010206.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FD1742FEFCF011ECA1EDA78634ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
