But instead, the alphabet conspires to seat her next to Jonah, aka Ghost Boy, a quiet loner who hasn't made a new friend since third grade. Something about him, though, gets to Bea, and soon they form an unexpected friendship. It's not romance, exactly - but it's definitely love. Still, Bea can't quite dispel Jonah's gloom and doom - and as she finds out his family history, she understands why. Can Bea help Jonah? Or is he destined to vanish? 2767429 1 10 2009 How to Say Goodbye in Robot total:85|5:31|4:30|3:19|2:5|1:0| 85 342 331 39 4 0 false false Sun Nov 22 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 22 12:11:15 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 22 12:11:40 -0800 2009

Alas, alack and woe! Another book done a great disservice by its pink cover. This is more along the lines of a Looking For Alaska than a chick lit. Real and funny and tragic, too.

Let me start with the bad: I think Standiford needed about 50-100 more pages of development in the first 1/3 of the book. I don't feel like the relationship between Bea and Jonah or Bea and any of the other students was developed quite right. There was a lot of situat...more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Nov 03 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Oct 22 13:04:12 -0700 2009 Tue Nov 03 12:54:46 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 08:40:29 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 08:40:29 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Nov 04 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Oct 22 12:44:28 -0700 2009 Thu Nov 05 19:37:34 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 21 04:06:14 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 28 05:26:02 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false true Sat Jul 18 08:50:18 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 14 10:56:10 -0700 2009
