Middle book of a trilogy, sadly. Contrivances and implausibilities galore. I would have been so peeved when I was ten or eleven. Since I can only get the third in digital and I don't like ebooks, I might skip it.
A ban on creating self-conscious robots has been in place for 10 years now. Eager has gone into hiding with the help of Professor Ogden. He visits the Bells once a year for a week to visit his old family. This time though, he has a stowaway, his nephew Jonquil. Soon he and Jonquil are solving mysteries, helping friends, and learning all about new emotions in this beautifully crafted tale.
