"A remarkable and heart-filled look at what it means to be human. If you're not in tears by the last chapter, you've a hard heart indeed." --Cory Doctorow, "New York Times "bestselling author of "Little Brother "and "Homeland"
"This is an in-depth exploration into a dystopian society and what it truly means to be human, with many universal teen themes as well: music, romance, body image, family issues. Tania and her friends have believably complex relationships, with the added stress of figuring out who is and is not a teknoid and what that means for relationships.... Fans of sci-fi and dystopian fiction will appreciate this tale." --"School Library Journal"
"Through the diary of Tania Deeley, Powell has created a terrifyingly plausible future... The author pays homage to the genre's giants while combining realistic characters (both human and android) and detailed worldbuilding with an unpredictably optimistic conclusion... An auspicious debut." --"Kirkus Reviews"
"This debut novel's premise...raises very interesting and meaningful questions about philosophy, humanity, personal choice, and feminism, which could lead to rich discussions. Hand this title to fans of Margaret Atwood's classic, "The Handmaid's Tale" (1986), and Veronica Roth's "Divergent" (2011)."--"Booklist"
"The chatty 11-year-old who begins this diary-style novel is very different from the determined 17-year-old who ends it, but the transition is natural, and the essence of Tania's voice stays true.... Tania's creativity, pathos, and personality prove that she's just as much a person as any flesh-and-blood human." --"Publishers Weekly"
"This dystopic future is a memorable one, placed about forty years ahead in a world where the robotic children's inevitable end is mitigated only slightly by the still very real, intense love parents feel for their teknoid offspring. While sci-fi buffs might be the likeliest audience, an extra push to realistic fiction fans may have them contemplating the ways in which Tania comes of age and how little it differs from what they are themselves experiencing." --"Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"

Born a rare human child into a world of sophisticated child androids that were created to counter a decline in global fertility, Tania records in her diary her efforts to learn about teknoid technologies when her best friend begins exhibiting bizarre behavior.
