Each title, written at a fourth grade reading level, explores the friction and friendships that develop as the students adapt to this new situation. Star-Crossed follows Alyssa, a human, and Reid, an android, as they develop feelings for each other and begin dating, despite objections from both of their families. In Team Player, Danny is threatened when an android player takes his spot on the football team. He and the team grapple with the implications that her heightened abilities bring to the sport. Max begins vandalizing in protest of android discrimination in Detained. When he gets placed in detention, he meets a human named Oliver, but their friendship endangers both of their places in their communities. In Family Ties, Julie questions her family's prejudiced views after becoming friends with a group of androids. <strong>VERDICT</strong> AI High effectively builds a world using a unique premise, with themes of prejudice that parallel the real world. --<em>School Library Journal</em><br /></p>-- "Journal" (6/1/2020 12:00:00 AM)<br>
