COG is an android. He was developed on the sly by Gina, a programmer that wanted to make a robot that could learn and grow with the experiences it had. The company that hired Gina,  uniMIND, has other ideas and want the android for themselves. COG is going to have use all of his experiences to out smart uniMIND and escape them. This is a great sci-fi book for a younger reader. It has a few pictures, (wish it had more), that add to the book. COG’s dilemma  about what to do and how to go about doing it were action filled at times, other times creative and sometimes funny. Each of the robots/androids had a quirk and unique personality that made the story. Grades 4 and up
