Elvis Ryder and His Glitchy Gearbot is a vibrant, STEM-inspired picture book for readers ages 7-10. Set in the futuristic cities of Skydale and Astoria Prime, the story follows young inventor Elvis Ryder as he prepares his robot companion, Gearbot, for the school science fair. But when Gearbot begins to malfunction, Elvis must use creativity, determination, and problem-solving skills to get them both to the fair on time.

Blending humor, adventure, and an early introduction to engineering concepts, this first book in the NOVA Team series encourages children to think like inventors and explore how technology works. Illustrated in a bold, futuristic style, the book also includes QR codes that unlock 21 augmented reality experiences - including 10 interactive story scenes, a bonus AR helmet try-on, and 10 Science & Technology History experiences inspired by real-world missions and innovations.

Perfect for children who enjoy imaginative adventures and for parents seeking stories that spark curiosity in science and technology, Elvis Ryder and His Glitchy Gearbot introduces a world of discovery where glitches turn into opportunities for growth.
