Project Ordell - Paperback

by Susanna Hays (Author)

Ordell Rutledge lives in the small town of Blackwick where he helps in his father's modest automaton shop. While he enjoys interacting with the few people who grace his father's business, he feels isolated because he can't relate to them. For ten years, life's been quaint and peaceful, but Ordell has a secret: he is an automaton, sentient enough to pass as human. Ordell's life is upended when the person he trusts most betrays him. Heartbroken, he sets off for Linnesse, a city that accepts automatons as people and is booming with the latest technology. With another sentient automaton, Elias Griffith, at his side, he overcomes obstacles and uncovers the strange truth behind his past. But sometimes the past is best left in the dark.
