About This Book

It is an ideal pick for kids who feel more comfortable behind a screen or a toolkit than in the spotlight, offering a roadmap for how technical passion can evolve into real-world bravery. Rise of the G.E.M.S. follows a group of tech-savvy friends who must use their unique skills in engineering and coding to save their school from a sudden threat. Beyond the superhero action, the story explores the nuances of friendship, the importance of trusting your own instincts, and how to communicate when a project feels overwhelming.
