Her review of the book app Pete's Robot by Heartdrive Media LLC is today's featured review. Pete's Robot is the story of a boy, his dog, and the robot they build together, as well as the silly and eccentric village they live in. In her review, Carisa said:
Silly faces, funny dance moves and the charming 'heartdrive' that powers
the robot's 'humanity' will have children asking to re-read this book
often. Adults will also appreciate the solid production values, engaging
storyline and thoughtful use of enhancements.
