But there's also a bigger, overarching narrative that continues from book to book. (less)

The story involves a group of smart, techie kids, and uses gaming and technology as a backdrop. But it’s honestly kind of retro. Sometimes I call it a "kids on bikes" adventure, because even though there's a wild sci-fi premise and they're often using pseudo-sciency gadgets, a lot of it is just a group of friends investigating around their school and town. And the emotional core is all about friendships, pressure, and figuring out how to move forward when things don’t go the way you expect.(less)
