Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

If super-high-tech android Dotty can spend an entire year masquerading as a twelve-year-old schoolgirl, she could win a multi-million-pound prize that will enable her creators to continue their ground-breaking work in the development of AI. Easy-peasy, right? As Dotty navigates the social expectations of Year 7 she gets into a series of hilarious scrapes, and encounters numerous ethical dilemmas both at school and at home. Then a boy in her class discovers there's a reward for outing the robot, and becomes intent on proving that Dotty is not who – or what – she says she is. To prevent herself from being discovered, Dotty needs to put into practice everything she has learned about being human. But will it be enough...? A hilarious story that poses some fascinating philosophical and ethical questions, told from the point of view of a smart, sassy android robot. A comic school adventure ideal for fans of David Walliams, David Solomons, David Baddiel and Pamela Butchart.
