Audrey's father taught her that to stay human in the modern world she had to build a moat around herself; a moat of books & music philosophy & dreams A moat that makes Audrey different from the echoes sophisticated emotionless machines built to resemble humans & to work for human masters Daniel is an echo
- but he's not like the others He feels a connection with Audrey; a feeling Daniel knows he was never designed to have & cannot explain & when Audrey is placed in terrible danger he's determined to save her ECHO BOY is a powerful story about love loss & what makes us truly human
