ADEN cree que puede ser famoso.
Su mamá piensa que es apuesto, astuto, talentoso y único.
Y las mamás siempre tienen la razón. ¿O no?

Ambos pasan las tardes y los fines de semana acudiendo a audiciones, pero el llamado a la fama nomás no llega. Hasta que un día, cuando estaban a punto de darse por vencidos, una empresa contrata a Aden para ser el modelo del robot que se convertirá en el juguete favorito de todos los niños.

Con esto seguro llegarán la fama y la fortuna, ¿no?

Lo que Aden no imagina es que el robot le arrebatará su identidad, el cariño de su mamá y hasta su playera favorita. Y él no será el único niño en aprietos: tal pareciera que, con la llegada de los robots, los adultos han perdido la cordura. ¿Será mera coincidencia? ¿O habrá alguien detrás, con un plan a prueba de niños?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

ADEN thinks he can become famous. His mom thinks he is handsome, witty, talented, and unique. And moms are always right, right?
 
They spend their afternoons and weekends at auditions, but his rise to fame is not coming so easily. Until one day, when they are about to give up, Aden is hired to model the robot that will soon become every kid’s favorite toy.
 
This will surely bring fame and fortune, right?
 
What Aden does not imagine is the robot taking away his identity, his mother's affection, and even his favorite shirt.

And he's not the only kid in trouble: it seems that, with the arrival of robots, adults have lost their minds. Could it be a mere coincidence? Or is there someone behind it, with a childproof plan?
Laetitia Thollot es una lectora y escritora de aventuras de ciencia ficción. Ganó el Premio Gran Angular México 2019 con la novela futurista El mundo después. Publicó Xylo, el náufrago, en Porrúa, y Ozono, en la colección Barco de Vapor de Ediciones SM. Ha crecido y vivido entre sus dos países: México y Francia.
