How to Say Goodbye in Robot


How to Say Goodbye in Robot
by Natalie Standiford

TO: BEATRICE
FROM: FUTURE BEATRICE
1120 AM. MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. BEATRICE OF THE FUTURE WILL THANK YOU.

So begins the strangest friendship at Canton High.

On Bea's first day at her new school, she meets Ghost Boy.  And that seems appropriate because her mother has called her a robot ever since Bea didn't cry the day that they found a gerbil, and later that day, found that same gerbil... dead.

What's the point of getting emotional over a gerbil that they knew for less than a day? 

Bea honestly doesn't see the fuss, but her mother is suddenly an emotional wreck.  Her father is disappearing from the house.  They've moved to a new town.  And Ghost Boy has come in to her life.

His mysterious message from "Future Beatrice" leads her to a strange midnight radio show, magic carpet rides, music, and secrets.

Jonah, aka "Ghost Boy", and his father have closet full of secrets just bursting at the hinges to get out.

But can Jonah handle the truth?  And can Bea handle the fallout?

If you've ever felt like you think on a different wavelength from everyone around you, this book will show you that you are definitely not alone in the world.
