Not Quite Human

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not Quite Human is the name of a series of young adult novels by Seth McEvoy about a scientist who creates an android son. Jonas Carson names him Chip and he passes off as a normal junior high school boy. His daughter, Becky, is brought in on the secret, while Dr. Carson poses as a science teacher to keep an eye on his "son."

The books were later made into a series of made-for-TV films for The Disney Channel, starring Alan Thicke as Dr. Jonas Carson, Robyn Lively as his daughter Becky, and Jay Underwood as Chip. Chip is created to look age 17 at the start of the film series, as opposed to 13 in the novels.
