About this audiobook
Vick and Tara are determined to stop the mob from tearing their little family apart. And they might just succeed! Sure, the evil Ms. Alba has more robot watchdogs, but none are as smart-or as faithful-as their Daisy. Plus, if things get too dangerous, Tara could always upgrade their pet. With her mechanical skills, she could make Daisy bigger, stronger, and a lot more intimidating!

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A fun read with a great adventure. Enjoyed the development of the main character and his sister as well as those of the people they meet and the technology was also fun. Was pretty dark and bleak for middle grade, but while the stakes were high there was no on page death injury or dismemberment.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A fast action story of two twins Vick and Tara, rendered homeless and orphans by dystopian events. Their tale of survival is creative, rich in imagination and carries through with excitement to the very end. Although geared for the younger reader, I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope there is a sequel.I received an advanced printed copy in return for an honest review.
