Description
What happens when a smart toy gets a little too smart?
Victor is thrilled to get the toy he’s always wanted for Christmas. It’s a LenBot—a smart robot that can learn anything. For once, it’s a toy that lives up to the hype. The robot really does become Victor’s best friend. But before long the robot starts learning more than Victor has taught it and acting very strangely. Victor knows LenBot is smart, but a toy robot couldn't be cruel. It can’t kill…can it?
The Orca Shivers series offers fast-paced, quick reads that will thrill middle-grade readers with spine-tingling tales of horror, suspense and mystery.

Advance Praise
“This delightful read is 'thriller lite,' as in horror on training wheels...There’s food for thought here both on media addiction and the future ramifications of artificial intelligence, but for anyone seeking a simple, slightly-scary, easy read, it’s the ticket. That goes for both keen and reluctant readers.” - YAdudebooks, May 03, 2024
