The Girl and the Robot

Mimi Perez fixes things. Phones, tablets, speakers, printers. She gets it from her dad — helping him at the family e-repair shop was always one of Mimi’s favorite things to do. But ever since Papi was deported, there’s a lot more than electronics that need fixing in Mimi’s world. Things too big for any twelve-year-old to handle on her own. Then a mysterious robot crashing to earth. From space. Mimi does what any street-smart electronics repair person would do: she takes the robot home, fixes her up, and in the process, makes herself a friend.
