THE GLITCH

by engineering an amicable settlement for all. It’s a settlement that involves lots of ice cream, too. Why? “Ice cream makes you happy when you are sad!” Rex doesn’t offer actual explanations for Fred’s software glitch or its timely disappearance, but this unexpected behavior does make the light\u002Dskinned, round\u002Dheaded pacifist seem a little less too good to be true, and his message therefore that much easier to accept."

Our Review

This gripping science fiction thriller plunges readers into a world where a mysterious digital anomaly, known as The Glitch, begins erasing reality itself, forcing a group of tech-savvy teens to uncover its origins before their world dissolves into nothingness. The novel masterfully blends high-stakes adventure with cutting-edge technological concepts, creating a pulse-pounding narrative that explores the fragile boundary between the digital and physical realms. Young adult readers will be immediately hooked by the relatable protagonists who must use their coding skills and collective intelligence to solve an existential crisis.

What sets this story apart is its intelligent fusion of contemporary teen dynamics with thought-provoking speculation about our dependence on technology, making it particularly compelling for readers who enjoy smart, character-driven sci-fi. The plot accelerates with relentless momentum, packed with clever puzzles and genuine moments of suspense that will keep the pages turning late into the night. This is exactly the kind of sophisticated storytelling that bridges middle grade excitement with young adult complexity, delivering both entertainment and substance in equal measure.
