A Boy And His Bot

Book • 2011
A Boy and His Bot follows Code Lightfall, a shy sixth-grader grieving his grandfather's disappearance, who stumbles into Mekhos—a manufactured, experimental world built and abandoned by an ancient human civilization and inhabited entirely by robots.

Accompanied by Peep, a small robotic insect, and Gary, a 10-foot-tall atomic slaughterbot, Code embarks on a fast-paced adventure to navigate this strange world, uncover the mystery of his grandfather's fate, and save Mekhos from impending doom under the tyrannical rule of Immortalis.

The story blends elements of classic adventure tales like Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz with imaginative robot-filled landscapes and themes of friendship, courage, and personal growth.
