Glitch Academy: Tales from the Cloud

For Awesome Tech Explorers Ages 9–12

Forgotten code doesn’t die—it just finds a new home in Byte Haven.

Meet Grandpa Byte, the glitchiest, grumpiest, most legendary program ever deleted. When humans tried to erase him, he escaped to a digital graveyard where he now teaches classes of baby bots about survival, sarcasm, and standing up for yourself—even when your code is a little broken.

Join the baby bots as they listen to 26 epic tales about the Lost Bots: from Spammy, who never learned when to stop sending messages, to the mysterious Shadow Circuit who wears a glitchy hoodie and hacks firewalls for fun! Watch out for the Captcha Witch who can spot a robot from a mile away, and don’t get caught in Mr. TermsAndConditions’ endless fine print!

But when a system-wide crash threatens their digital home, can Grandpa Byte’s ancient wisdom help these young programs save the cloud before they’re all permanently deleted?

Perfect for tech-loving readers ages 9–12 (and their parents!) who’ve ever wondered where old apps go when they disappear.
