I read this book in 6th or 7th grade (2013-2014) and then they tore down the library and I never got to finish the rest of the series and have been stuck on a cliffhanger ever since.

Spoilers ahead

My recollection is a bit fuzzy but I remember the main plot of the story was these two kids, a boy and a girl, who lived on an island that was controlled by robots who brewed chaos as a means of governing. The two kids generally fight the robots, but end up befriending one somehow and he helps them find this big group of people who are living in a large cave on the island and have built a ship that they are going to try and sail to get off the island. This is where the book ended.

Things I remember that might help narrow it down:
- there is a quote along the lines of “chaos breeds order and order breeds chaos”
- the cover was ugly and that’s why I chose to read it (it was either green or purple)
- there is a part of the book where the robot sacrificed itself? And the kids assume he died
- there was a scene where the two kids are walking through a sketchy market that I believe was in an underground pipe system of some sort
- the kids names were very short and I think they had dumb nicknames like “run” “fast” or something along those lines, but I think the boy might’ve been names Clay
- there has to be at least one more book because the story ends on a cliffhanger and I was going to get the next one but could not
