When a new boy joins their class, everyone thinks he's...odd. George doesn't behave like other kids. He doesn't think like other kids. But he's great at football and snacking, and that's what matters to Dan and Maxie and friends who resolve to make George feel welcome. Over time, they learn that he's just like them, in most ways, except one: George is a robot, part of an ambitious new experiment with sinister people bent on destroying him. When his lab pulls him out of school, can George's new friends recover him--and set him free?
