Not Quite Human

Not Quite Human follows Dr. Jonas Carson, a scientist who creates an android named Chip designed to look and act like a teenager. Dr. Carson enrolls Chip in junior high school as his son while taking a position as a science teacher to monitor his creation's progress. The series centers on Chip's experiences navigating school life while keeping his true nature hidden from everyone except Dr. Carson and his daughter Becky. Despite possessing enhanced capabilities like superhuman strength and perfect memory, Chip must learn to blend in with his peers while managing the challenges of his unique physical traits and literal interpretation of human communication. These young adult novels track Chip's development as he gains deeper understanding of human behavior and social interactions through his daily experiences. The story balances elements of science fiction with the familiar setting of middle school life. The series explores themes of identity, belonging, and what it means to be human through the lens of an android learning to exist in human society. The relationship between Dr. Carson and his artificial "son" raises questions about the nature of family bonds and personal growth.
