  Robots and humans are finally at peace … for now! 
   
  It’s been a few months now since XR_935 met Emma, a human girl who wasn’t supposed to exist. Robots thought they’d eliminated the humans, but some have survived all these years. Now, robots and humans live side by side, and the world is much better for it. They’ve formed a new society, living together as equals. 
   
  Even if XR doesn’t always understand humans, it is impressed by their creativity and ingenuity—especially considering all the terrible things that robots did to humans many years ago. But some humans are not so quick to forgive. A group known as the Machine Breakers has emerged. They won’t stop until they’ve destroyed every robot on earth—and any human who stands in their way. 
   
  Can XR and Emma stop them? Or could this be the end of the robots—and the world as they know it?

  In this award-winning memoir translated from Italian to English, a Jewish girl grows up during a difficult time of racial discrimination and war, and discovers light in unexpected places. This classic, powerful story from Lia Levi is adapted for young readers, with a powerful author’s note to readers.  
  1938, Italy. Six-year-old Lia loves to build sandcastles at the beach and her biggest problem is her shyness and quiet, birdlike voice—until prime minister Mussolini joins forces with Hitler in World War II, and everything changes. 
  Now there are laws saying Jewish children can’t go to school, Jews can’t work, or go on vacation. It’s difficult for Lia to understand why this is happening to her family. When her father loses his job, they must give up their home and move from city to city. 
  As war comes closer, it becomes too dangerous to stay together, and Lia and her sisters are sent to hide at a convent. Will she ever be “just a girl” again? 
  The memoir is full of poignant moments of friendship and loss, dreaded tests at school, told in Lia's captivating voice, as she grows into a young teen. Just a Girl is an important addition to the WWII Jewish canon.
