Kate Ormand Made

Annotation

MADE's creations aren't born - they're built. Violet's family has been approved to test a teenage robot called Ollie. Robots like Ollie are programmed to act human without so many things that are necessary to being human. He has no feelings. He can't lie, disobey his family or ever harm a human being. But Ollie is a machine, and things go wrong with machines all the time... Between the Lines is set across a range of locations - in familiar places such as schools and homes as well as spanning the Yorkshire moors, the Mediterranean and South India. Designed expressly for reluctant and struggling readers, the stories in this series feature mature and serious themes touching on abandonment, addiction, loss, homelessness, love, war, dystopia and refugees.
