'Beautiful. I adored it'

'Extraordinary . . . It will touch your heart and mind in ways you will not see coming'
JANICE HALLETT

A heartwarming, joyous and profound love letter to books and the power of connection found in the most unexpected places

'And that's why I want to be called Scout'
'It's most unusual, said Clock.
'She's the one who listens and learns,' Scout said. 'She's like me.' She paused and set her voice to pensive. 'You already have names. I'd like one too.'

In a self-running smart house, a young sentient hoover listens as her owner, Harold, reads aloud to his dying wife, Edie. Mesmerized by To Kill a Mockingbird and craving human connection, the little vacuum renames herself Scout and embarks on a journey of self-discovery.

But when Edie passes away, Scout and her fellow appliances discover that the omnipresent Grid, which monitors every household in the City, wants to displace Harold from the home he's lived in for fifty years. With the help of a neighbourhood boy, and Harold and Edie's daughter, the humans and the appliances must come together to outwit the Grid before they lose everything they hold dear. . .

Readers adore The Infinite Sadness of Small Appliances:
'Prepare to have your heartstrings pulled by a precocious vacuum cleaner'
'A fantastic story'
'I knew I'd love this. And I did'
'Emotional, charmingly inventive, and quietly profound'
