Back when I was a Robot Girl

by Hirochika Ishikawa

“It was all of a sudden that I remembered. That I was a robot. Not a human, a robot. I had forgotten all about it; I guess had been programmed to. But then I remembered”. This book will resonate with teenage readers as it is about questioning, wavering, and then finding your true self. It tells the story of a girl who, convinced she is a robot, stops eating, and a boy who tries to understand her.
