About God’s Gift by Remi DeWitt
Disappointed with her birthday present, Devon decides the world isn’t fair. But she’s only seven. She doesn’t know how to make it better. Maybe God would help. Suddenly, an alien robot falls from the sky. Bonding with it, she calls it Auntie, and their journey begins. In the forest, she meets some unicorn killers, who are really hunters, and then some wood elves, who are really youths having a weed party. From them, she learns that the world isn’t fair because it’s full of Nazis. She also begins to learn how to control Auntie, but not before Auntie has made her parents and the unicorn killers disappear.
In the first town, she comes to Devon saves the people from the Nazi sheriff’s department, and then, in Tacoma, she saves some students from an attack by Nazi robots, really the authorities trying to stop Auntie. Some of the students join her. They march on the detention center to free the inmates, only to find it empty. There they are joined by Brandon and some of his Antifa guys. One of the students, Tyler, has invited him, and they decide to travel to Washington to confront the president.
They journey on, with the authorities confronting them again and again, but each time Auntie defeats them. In towns along the way, they are joined by new people. In Yakima it’s Ali and Ross, a news crew. Ali and Brandon soon fall out, and they bicker constantly. In Boise, Auntie makes an ogre—who’s really the leader of a biker gang—disappear. Devon chooses H, his replacement, to lead her growing army. Annie Rea also joins them, promising Devon that the people she represents can get her anything she wants. Devon asks for a carriage fit for a queen.
Further on, Bill delivers it, and Devon decides that Bill and Annie Rae should become part of her royal family, with Tyler as her prince. But, outside Cheyenne, Tyler is taken from her and Devon threatens to destroy the entire town. Instead, she is persuaded to make a TV broadcast appealing for Tyler’s return. No one helps, and Devon now knows there are a lot more Nazis in the world than she thought. Reaching Kearney, Auntie is attacked again. After the attack is beaten off, Devon sets out to punish everyone by destroying the entire town. But then a hologram of the president appears to tell her that Auntie has her own parents and she must go home. No matter how much Devon says no, Auntie disappears, and Devon is left alone to wail at the sky.
