I am not often as unequivocal as I am in recommending Cog, by Greg Van Eekhout "If you have a super curious, quirky kid of 9 or so who needs a book to read, offer this one. Then, if you are a smart, quirky grown-up, read it yourself." https://charlotteslibrary.blogspot.com/2019/10/cog-by-greg-van-eekhout.html?spref=tw
