A curious robot and a daring girl embark on an unforgettable quest in search of humanity. This remarkable debut novel will delight fans of The Wild Robot and The Tale of Despereaux.
Seventeen is a robot with a dream: to become a valiant knight like those in the tales stored in his databases. So when he is sent on a quest in search of humanity--which has mysteriously disappeared from the world--Seventeen is thrilled down to his tiniest cogs. His first triumph is the rescue of Hazel (a fair maiden!), who has no memory of her family and no inkling where all the other humans have gone. Together, Seventeen and Hazel journey through a landscape full of wonders that defy his programming. They meet a tyger with tentacles for whiskers, foxes with three tails, and a colony of telepathic octopuses. But Seventeen is certain that, if they ever find them, the humans will be the most glorious creatures of all... From a stunning new voice in children's literature comes a life-affirming celebration of the power of stories, the courage found through friendship, and the remarkable and essential qualities that make us human.
