Many androids like him are jobless and homeless. Someone like Dorian could never understand their struggle - or so Hugo thinks when the pompous duke comes banging at his door.
When Dorian bursts through Hugo's attire space, demanding that he fix time travel watch. Hugo thinks it will be just another normal day in his mundane, android life.
However, when he starts takes a look at the watch, Hugo soon realises that something isn't right, and it's certainly not good.
With the surprising help from Dorian, both android and human must overcome their differences and embark on a journey to uncover who is breaking the watches and why, but it doesn't come without a cost.
Oh, they also need to save the planet in the process.
The Starlight Watchmaker by Lauren James, is the first in a series by this lovely author. I picked up this book whilst I was away last year, when I visited a lovely little local bookshop and I'm happy I did.
The story centres around an Android named Hugo, a human named Dorian and their differences from where they're from. Both characters already have presumptions about the other and through their journey are made to question their brought up beliefs and what their first impressions of each other are.
The story is lovely, quirky and uplifting. Filled with friendship and overcoming various problems. I think this would be a great read for children to understand not to judge people on how they look.
I will be giving this book 3 out of 5
