Weird, wonderful...I loved this. --Matt Haig, New York Times bestselling author INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER In a near future, where even the smallest of appliances are sentient, a young Roomba vacuum sets out to save the humans of her house from a rising technological power in this fantastic book (Evan Friss, New York Times bestselling author). In a self-running, smart house, a young and sentient Roomba listens as her owner, Harold, reads aloud to his dying wife, Edie. Mesmerized by To Kill a Mockingbird and craving the human connection she witnesses in Harold's stories, the little vacuum renames herself Scout and embarks on a journey of self-discovery. But when Edie passes away, Scout and her fellow sentient appliances discover that there are sinister forces in their midst. The omnipresent Grid, which monitors every household in the City, seeks to remove Harold from his home, a place he's lived in for fifty years. With the help of a neighborhood boy who grows close to Scout and Harold, as well as Kate, Harold and Edie's formerly estranged daughter, the Humans and the appliances must come together to outwit the all-controlling Grid lest they risk losing everything they hold dear in this incredibly timely and charming novel (Library Journal).
