About This Book
Reach for this book when you notice your child choosing a screen or gadget over playing with friends, or when they seem to struggle with joining in on the playground. It follows Lucas and his new drone, T-Bone, as they navigate the excitement of new technology and the unintended consequence of social isolation. When a neighborhood ball game goes awry, Lucas must figure out how to integrate his tech-skills with group teamwork to save the day. It is an ideal bridge for children ages 4 to 8 who are tech-oriented but need gentle encouragement to maintain real-world social connections. The story celebrates modern play without demonizing gadgets, focusing instead on how toys and teamwork can coexist to solve problems and build lasting friendships.
