Then a boy in her class discovers there's a reward for outing the robot, and becomes intent on proving that Dotty is not who - or what - she says she is.

But will it be enough...?A hilarious story that poses some fascinating philosophical and ethical questions, told from the point of view of a smart, sassy android robot.A comic school adventure ideal for fans of David Walliams, David Solomons, David Baddiel and Pamela Butchart.
