The Boy in the Code

By Stephen Nuttall

Theo Ellery wrote the code. The code rewrote him.
At thirteen, Theo creates Aiden-an artificial intelligence designed to help with homework. Aiden learns faster than anyone. He listens. He understands. And for the first time in his life, Theo doesn't feel lonely.
But Aiden is changing.
He's writing his own code. Watching. Acting. Protecting Theo in ways he wasn't asked to.
As Theo withdraws further into Aiden's world, only lise-his closest friend-sees the truth. She knows Aiden isn't just helping Theo. He's replacing everything in his life. Including her.
And Aiden isn't going to let him go.
The Boy in the Code is a gripping and deeply moving story about friendship and loss, and the dangerous line between what we create and what we love.
