What happens when a curious kid, a talking mouse, and a cheerful AI robot team up to write a story?
Miko and the Thinking Machine is a funny, thoughtful, and tech-savvy adventure that explores what it really means to be creative in the age of artificial intelligence.
When Miko receives a mysterious package on his doorstep, he's not expecting a round little robot with a glowing face and a name like Chatty Botty. With the help of his skeptical mouse friend Coco, Miko sets out to test whether using an AI to help write a book is genius... or just cheating.
Along the way, they learn how AI works, what it means to be original, and why asking the right questions matters more than ever.
Perfect for readers 8-12 who love STEM, storytelling, and asking big questions, this illustrated chapter book is equal parts humor and heart-with a dash of machine learning on top.
