From the publisher

In ARLO’s grim, mechanical world, every day is just the same. ARLO powers up, greases his gears, and works on the assembly line like the rest of the robots. But unlike the others, ARLO longs for something different. And one day, a storm changes everything–leaving ARLO to discover, and revel in, the wilderness beyond the factory walls. Join ARLO as he explores the unknown, learns that home is where the metal heart is, and that something different can be created in many ways. A story about creativity, change, and growing where you’re planted.
