    About this series

    When Lacey Chu wakes up in a hospital room with no memory of how she got there, she knows something went really wrong. And
    with her cat baku, Jinx, missing in action and Moncha, the company behind the invention of the robot pet, threatening her family, she isn’t sure who to turn to for answers.

    To make matters worse, Lacey is expelled from her dream school, Profectus. And when she tries to talk to her mom about it, she
    realizes she’s been acting weirdly ever since the latest update from Moncha. Lacey and her friends work together to get to the bottom
    of it and discover a sinister plot at the heart of the corporation that could change everyone’s lives.

    Lacey must use all her skills if she has a chance of stopping Moncha from carrying out its plan. But can she take on the biggest
    tech company in North America armed with only a level one robot beetle and her friends at her side?
