Pressure
by Rebecca Roland
Lucy Brick, a student of robotics, wants to test her creations out in the real world. Her robots are made to help blind people safely navigate city streets. But Happy Dancer and Little Leaf start acting weird as the weather goes haywire.
Lucy discovers people are using personal devices to control the weather—making clouds and changing rain to sun. These small variations are adding up. A killer storm is approaching, and Lucy must unite with her friends to save her city from technology gone wrong.
Pressure follows Velocity in The Activ8r Adventures, where AI enhancements to human beings give them amazing powers…but at what cost?”
About the Author
As a speech pathologist, writer, and Harvard lecturer, Rebecca is passionate about the power of language and conversation to enhance relationships.
In her previous book, The Art of Talking with Children, she demonstrates how to enrich interactions with the kids in your life and build the skills kids really need to thrive. She delves into meaningful conversations as a “double promise.” They build bonds with children in the moment, and they help kids become kinder, confident, and more creative.
