Although the text is sparse, Ms. Valentine creates a story that will provoke a lot of discussion.
Ben never lets his sister Alice play with him. He plays with his toy robot and nothing else. When Alice's birthday approaches, to Ben's horror, she ask for the newest robot toy-Roboy 2000. To say Ben is slightly envious is an understatement!
On Alice's birthday, Ben makes two choices that have an impact on Alice's birthday and his relationship with her.
*Highly recommend.
