About this ebook
Jane’s mom loves her new tablet. It listens to her (unlike her husband) and does everything she asks it to do (unlike her daughter). She even gave it a name: Bob.
Jane has a sneaking suspicion there’s more to Bob the Tablet than meets the eye, but as long as her mom’s happy and not trying to marry her off, Jane’s happy.
Then Jane receives a Bob of her own. A very insistent Bob.
A Bob who can’t wait to grant Jane’s wishes.
