How to say goodbye in robot, by Natalie Standiford



Bea is tired of moving every year to follow her Dad's career. Isolated from her career obsessed father and her depressed (unhinged?) mother, Bea is reluctant to even try making new friends at her new school. But the daily morning assembly finds her sitting next to Jonah, who is even more isolated than Bea. And the two soon find common interests that include late night talk radio, where Jonah (Ghost boy) and Bea (Robot girl) can communicate. Their relationship grows with shared secrets and stunts, and their friendship runs deep, though never quite into romance.

Senior year becomes an adventure Bea never expected, but life after high school looms as a big unknown.
