by Ben Hatke (Author)
A lonely robot. A strange garden. And a secret that could change everything.
Every night, a little robot wakes up in a quiet scrapyard.
Every night, he listens to the same cassette tape.
Every night, he dreams of something more.
Then one day, everything changes when he discovers a mysterious garden, and a small, frightened girl who needs his help.
To protect her, the robot must learn what it means to be brave, to care for someone else, and to face a world much bigger and more dangerous than he ever imagined.
From acclaimed creator Ben Hatke comes a tender, timeless graphic novel about connection across worlds -- and the small acts of kindness that can make even a robot feel human.
Packed with:
- emotional, cinematic storytelling
- gentle science fiction adventure
- themes of friendship and protection
- accessible, page-turning pacing
