About the book: the year / Livy Jones and Gates Warvis were haunted by failure. Every year they lost to the rival school's team at the Springdale Robotics Competition. But this year they have a new strategy. And a new robot. And she looks human. Perhaps even too much. When Francine starts to malfunction horribly, Livi becomes paranoid. How can a robot do something that is not part of its programming? Is this sabotage? Or something much more sinister?
