Man Made Boy

“Refreshing…Never veers into horror, staying strictly on the side of realistic—if, you know, there were monsters—and heartwarming adventure…An original.”
—io9.com
 
“Monstrously fun…Heartwarming, hilarious, and full of memorable characters. You won’t be able to put this one down!”
—John Corey Whaley, Michael L. Printz Award-winning author of Where Things Come Back and Noggin

His name, believe it or not, is Boy.
 
Boy is (among other things):
 
seventeen years old,
 
a genius computer hacker on the brink of creating an artificial intelligence,
 
and obsessed with a girl.
 
But there’s something even more that sets Boy apart.
 
For one, he’s never been out in public.
 
And here’s something else: he isn’t even human.
 
Now it’s time for him to run away from the home he’s known and step out into the real world. But it’s a hard world out there…
 
Especially if you’re a monster.
