Leon should be Rachel's ideal match. They're perfectly suited and they get on brilliantly.

But there's just one problem. Leon is a robot.

Is it possible to fall in love with someone who isn't real? And how can you resist someone who's truly made for you?

Funny yet sad; full of conviction and self-consciousness at the same time; Tim Collins creates an authentic teenage voice to tell a contemporary love story with a twist.

An intriguing story with the look and feel of a YA novel, Mr Perfect is suitable for teenage reluctant readers with a reading age of about 8-9. A combination of short sentences, a clear format with line breaks, straightforward language and mature content make this story accessible and attractive to struggling readers with a reading age lower than their actual age.

Here is a note from the author about his influences:

This title pays homage to classic sci-fi titles such as Blade Runner and AI, filtered through a contemporary YA voice. It was a challenging tone to achieve for reluctant readers as I needed to balance internal and external conflict while keeping the sentences and words simple. I aspired to the mix of sarcasm and tenderness that marks modern YA romance.

We think he succeeded. We'd love to know what your students think.
