Roy Campbell is a quiet, unassuming middle schooler on a quest to finish his most epic project to date-a complete retro gaming setup in a backpack. All he needs to make his dream a reality is to win the grand prize from the science fair, a 3D printer. It should be a piece of cake, but sabotage, a sly competitor, and a surprise betrayal spoil his chances, and he's laughed off the stage.
Despite the humiliation, a new opportunity to obtain the printer presents itself. Against all his instincts, Roy does the unthinkable-he allows some of his overeager classmates into his messy workshop and life. He hardly has time to regret the choice before they find themselves thrust deep into a mystery threatening the entire town, all because of his latest invention.
Packed with heartfelt moments, laugh-out-loud mishaps, and nostalgic nods to retro gaming, The Retrokid is a celebration of creativity, resilience, and the friendships that make the journey worthwhile. Perfect for readers who loved Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Slacker, this coming-of-age tale reminds us that stepping out of your comfort zone can lead to the best adventures of all.
