A Korean nine-year-old named Jesse is adopted and sent to live with a lovely couple in America. Equipped with a seemingly encyclopedic brain but socially awkward, the young girl’s journey through the complexities of race, gender, and identity hits a fork in the road when she discovers she’s not entirely human…yet. Adolescence just got a lot more emotional for the world’s first true A.I. system.

“Holt folds their own background as a Korean-born, nonbinary,transracial adoptee, brilliantly melding identity issues with speculative AIenhancement. Brazilian, Barcelona-based Schall’s art provides an ideal,exacting visualization of Holt’s new world. Volume 2 can’t come fastenough!” —Booklist (starred review)
