Cog by Greg Van Eekhout

Middle readers will enjoy this action-packed robot escape story. Cog, short for Cognitive Development, has already learned that making mistakes is a good way to learn. So he goes for it! With the help of a robot sister, dog, car and trash collector, Cog manages to save both the day and Gina - the brilliant engineer being held prisoner by the evil Nathan at uniMIND corporation. As the robots learn about free will/freedom of choice, kids will find some interesting concepts to think about.
