Robot Dreams

by Sara Varon, 208 pages

A dog builds himself a robot friend only to lose him to a foolish mistake. Can what's broken be mended?

The only words in this visually simple but thematically complex little graphic novel appear on book spines and street signs and postcards, but it has no difficulty communicating the joys and sorrows of its pair of separated friends as they are carried on the sometimes pleasant, sometimes upsetting currents of life. A surprisingly realistic treatment of friendship and personal growth.
