Can't remember the title...

crich70 · 08-16-2011, 08:45 PM

I'm trying to remember the title of a book I read as a kid. This young kid wants a robot playmate and convinces his parents to get him one. The robot looks just like another pre-teen boy which leads to problems for a would be robot thief who can't tell which is the real kid and which is the robot. Does the book sound familiar to anyone here at Mobileread? I read it back in the 1970's though I can't recall if it was a new book or a reprint of one from the 60's or so. I got it through one of the thin book catalogs that schools put out back then.

Doesn't sound familiar to me, but you might get more of a response in the Name that Book "stickied" thread in the Reading Recommendations forum.

Oops. Good point, I hadn't thought of that.
