Description

Let’s Get Techie! Every four years, the eight nations of Onan gather for a celebration like no other: the Tech Games. The Olympics of Gaming. And Charlie Robles is going to bring home the gold. Or that’s the dream—and no one dreams like Charlie, his entire life a hyperactive ricochet between whatever new tech he can get his hands on and however many naps he can squeeze into his middle school schedule. Charlie is wildly enthusiastic, and he plays Battle Playground with more heart than anyone. But Charlie is only thirteen. He’s tiny. He wears a beanie over his ears so the bullies can’t see his hearing aid. Techies like Charlie don’t play in the Tech Games. Techies like Charlie watch from the stands. Yet when the Tech Committee of Ethernet United Sectors offers an internship to the best players in the annual Techie Games—the competition for aspiring tech runners across the nation—Charlie finds the opportunity he’s been dreaming of all his life.
