Okay. It's a finished scan, but I'm still reading it, and I make it a policy to not submit a bok to Bookshare till I've read it myself.

I read the reviews at Amazon.com and it sounds like a fun book, but it's so new--just published in February, that none of my libraries has it yet. However, when you're finished scanning, submit it with a hold for me and I'll validate it when I get the book. No hurry, as I have the Princess books and others to do first.

It's about a robot who becomes a detective in order to find his kidnapped neighbors, the closest thing he has to family. It's great so far, very "pulpy."----- Original Message ----- From: "Grandma Cindy" <popularplace@xxxxxxxxx>To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2008 3:27 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Please don't kill me > What is the book?
