Book 3: Frostbyte

Book 2 closes by saying where the adventure goes next: the planet Frostbyte. That book is being written and drawn now. It has no title and no date yet.

Meet the crew

Robi the orange robot waving, Pip the little white compass-drone winking, and Glitch the purple puff with a sly smile
Robi

A small robot with a big brain. Robi never guesses: he looks, thinks, and finds the answer.

Pip

Robi’s compass-drone and best friend. Pip always has a helpful tip.

Glitch

A mischievous static-puff who loves scrambling things. He’s not mean… just VERY annoying.
