Rippy has a background in health, science, and technology, and is an advocate of lifelong learning and science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). This is his first fictional book. He lives with his family near Boston, Massachusetts. “My son read this as part of our book club with other fourth grade boys & their moms. We liked it! The team of kids in the book goes on an adventure that had me flipping pages quickly at the end. Our book club thought it was neat to hear about the different kinds of robots the team of kids created, and how they would operate. As a mom, I appreciated a story with such a positive message about science, robots, and smarts. Refreshing and worth a read! This would be a neat book for a class to read together, if a teacher wanted to inspire kids to like STEM topics.” Ryan Ferris has no idea what lies ahead when he wins an invitation to a summer robotics camp. He and his new friends work on their animal bots, meet some amazing people, and create their share of mischief and music along the way. Little do they know their adventure is just beginning. As classmates, this group of six boys and girls go on to share experiences they could never have imagined, but the most incredible experience of all proves to be the most dangerous. When the friends learn that one of their greatest teachers is in life-threatening peril half a world away, they must rise to meet a challenge that will test them as never before. Even with the help of their bots and some super smart colleagues from nearby Weatherall University and an air base in Nevada, they feel totally unprepared. Can the friends and their bots rise to the occasion when it matters most? 5-1022
