New to town, Bea is expecting her new best friend to be one of the girls she meets on the first day. You know the type: very cheery, very friendly, very average. But instead, the alphabet conspires to seat her next to Jonah, aka Ghost Boy, a quiet observer who hasna (TM)t made a new friend since third grade. Hea (TM)s not a big fan of people in general... but hea (TM)s willing to make an exception for her. Maybe.
Bea and Jonah are not going to have a friendship like other people have a friendship, where ita (TM)s all based on gossip and parties and what everybody else thinks. Instead, their friendship comes from truth-bound conversations, shared secrets, daring stunts, and late-night calls to the same old-timer radio show. They help each other and hurt each other, push away and hold close. Ita (TM)s not romance, exactly a \" but ita (TM)s definitely love. And it means more to them than either one can ever really know....
For anyone whoa (TM)s ever entered the wonderful, treacherous, consuming, meaningful world of a true friendship, How to Say Goodbye in Robot will strike a deep and lasting chord.
