Maya and the Robot

posted on May 4, 2026

Maya and the Robot by Eve L. Ewing is a heart-warming story about a girl and a robot. It is the story of being lonely, finding community. and discovering what it is to be human. Particularly in an age when AI has found its way into so much of our lives, it’s a relevant read while also being a timeless one. Here’s what we’ll do as we read it at my book club.

Book Discussion

What, according to you, makes a human different from a robot? At my book club, we’ll have a mini-debate on the topic: A robot would make an excellent friend.

I’m curious about what my book clubbers will come up with!

Vocabulary Games

Maya and the Robot is one of those books for which I found tons of resources online–though mostly related to vocabulary. Let’s do criss-cross puzzles, word games, and more!

Science Fiction

For the creative writing element of this book, we’ll write a little science fiction. A robot as a friend–what could go wrong?
