But soon enough her world is shaken to the core, so much so that all she then wants to be is her father's little girl again. The Making Boy After his father's death, Boy faces a world that only sees him as a robot, not someone with feelings and the ability to love, so he sets out to prove he's more than a bucket held together by bolts - so much more.
