Gezz and her best friends Malcolm and Luke are having fun on the housing estate where they live, when the arrival of a stranger interrupts their everyday lives and changes the world as they know it forever. Created by a professor of robotics, Anne Droyd is left in the care of these three children, who take her to school with them and teach her how to be 'a human'.This Asperger adventure explores the human condition and the need to integrate into a society that demands conformity. The author's pun on 'android' introduces the theme of alienation that runs throughout, a tool used to provide comfort to individuals who feel like 'aliens', excluded from their social environment. Readers will be captivated by the heroic characters and the colourful plot, and engaged by Hadcroft's imaginative presentation of real-life issues such as smoking, bullying and peer acceptance.

Great for 8-11 year olds. They love the class room scenes and how Anne deals with the bully. If you or your child have trouble 'fitting in' then you/they will identify with Anne but also see the positive message that change and acceptance is possible!
Can't wait to read the next instalment Anne Droyd and the House of Shadows.
Will Hadcroft writes in the great tradition of the children's adventures that we love. ( )
