Image
The Time Will Come is a weekly meme hosted @  Books for Company , where you can spotlight those books that have been on your shelf for awhile and you really want to to read them. The time will come for me to read.... How To Say Goodbye In Robot  by Natalie Standiford New to town, Bea is expecting her new best friend to be one of the girls she meets on the first day. But instead, the alphabet conspires to seat her next to Jonah, aka Ghost Boy, a quiet loner who hasn't made a new friend since third grade. Something about him, though, gets to Bea, and soon they form an unexpected friendship. It's not romance, exactly - but it's definitely love. Still, Bea can't quite dispel Jonah's gloom and doom - and as she finds out his family history, she understands why. Can Bea help Jonah? Or is he destined to vanish? I already read one of her books ( Confessions Of The Sullivan Sisters ) and really liked. This one has excellent reviews,...
