My robot

"My Robot" by Henry Slesar is a science fiction story that looks at how kids connect with robots, mixed with tough family issues. It's about a boy who remembers his robot tutor, Faw-Faw, and feels lonely because his dad is super busy with a top-secret project for the government that involves making robots. The boy loved Faw-Faw a lot, but he also remembers his parents fighting, mostly because his dad was obsessed with making robots for the army, which scared his mom. As the boy misses his robot friend more and more, the story shows how hard it is to grow up when your family is struggling and how technology can change everything, even the way we love and remember things. The story is told like a memory, making it sad but also thought-provoking.
