“...All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like
pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge,
others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little
pieces, beyond repair...”

Samuel Hayes-Rodriguez and E |
While trying to reduce my BBW's load from couple years ago, I started to read another middle-grade series to lose the tension from previous reading session. Well, dystopia and thriller are not dealing well with your emotion on daily basis, so I have to read other genres. HOUSE OF ROBOTS by cross-genres author James Patterson came to my binge-reading time. And gladly, I finished three books of this series, feeling a bit warmth, sadness, even a bit anger. Why?
HOUSE OF ROBOTS is a series of a nice lil boy named Samuel Hayes-Rodriguez. Sammy -his nickname- has a high tech prof mother-Elizabeth Hayes and a super creative manga artist-Noah Rodriguez. Sammy also has a sister, Maddie Hayes-Rodriguez, who suffers from Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID), an inherited disease that worsens the immune system. Maddie couldn't go out from her room, she's vulnerable and practically would have fatal condition due to minor infections. Brilliant Liz Hayes build many robots for taking care every daily basis of housekeeping function and keep Maddie safe.
