We read this together as a family. And we all loved it, our son who is 14,
our 10 year daughter, my wife and I included. Very entertaining, great
story about the lessons of life. Love, hope, fear, loss and how we can
overcome any obstacles with a little bit of help from friends and family.

I absolutely loved this book! My 10 year old son had it assigned as summer reading. We would read it together using Discord and screen share. This story is very much human and makes you think about the relationship between computers and natural world. Animal and instincts and computer programming are very much similar to each other. As you find out in this book through a beautiful story of personal growth and the power of family.
