This 207 page graphic novel has zero, zilch, no dialogue. Wow! To understand the book, the reader has to infer from the character's reactions, behaviors, choices, and decisions.
A dog (??? Not really sure what he is!) makes a robot to be his friend. They share common interests and decide to go to the beach for a day of fun in the sun. Pretty good idea - unless you are made of metal! Poor Robot grows stiff and hardens on the beach only to be left behind by his friend. The friend tries to move on, but can't quite find a suitable replacement. In the meantime, Robot dreams of becoming free again.
Will they rebuild their friendship? Will Robot remain on the beach forever? That is all part of the fun in reading this book!
