An unlikely connection forms between a watchmaker android and a wealthy student in this wildly imaginative sci-fi mystery from YA star Lauren James.
Nominated for the Carnegie Medal and shortlisted for the STEAM Book Prize
At an elite academy where the wealthiest students from across the galaxy come to be educated, Hugo works as a watchmaker in a dusty attic room. But he is one of the lucky ones. Many androids like him are jobless and homeless. A privileged student like Dorian could never understand their struggle – or so Hugo thinks when the pompous duke comes knocking at his door.
But when Hugo and Dorian uncover a potential terrorist threat, android and student must overcome their differences and work together to track down the culprit before the whole academy is placed in danger.
Particularly suitable for readers aged 11+ with a reading age of 8.
