Reach for this book when your teenager is struggling to balance their digital persona with their real life identity, or if they seem increasingly lonely despite being constantly connected online. This satirical yet poignant story follows David, a boy whose parents buy him a lifelike robot companion to treat his social dissociation, and Charlie, an outsider who develops a genuine bond with the machine. It explores deep themes of intimacy, the objectification of others, and the search for authenticity in a high tech world. Parents should note that while it is humorous, it addresses mature concepts like physical boundaries and the ethics of technology with a sharp, contemporary edge. It is a perfect choice for starting honest conversations about what makes a relationship real and how to navigate the pressures of modern social expectations.
