FINISHED:
Hale, Nathan. (2017). One Trick Pony. New York: Amulet/Abrams.
[This was a GREAT ONE! Set in a future where the world has been decimated by a race of invading aliens, 3 young people are out exploring a cave, looking for any old technological items they can find. They are part of a caravan of folks who are conservators of some of the last known remains of human civilization (books, films, technology, etc.). The young explorers come across a treasure trove of forgotten tech, including a robot horse that bonds with the girl of the group. Unfortunately, their waking up the long-buried tech alerts the Pipers (bubble-blowing aliens who eat technology... and humans).]
