Jinxed

The Golden Compass for the digital age! When a coding star enters an elite technology academy, she discovers a world of competition, intrigue, and family secrets - plus a robotic companion that isn't what it seems.

Lacey Chu has always dreamed of working as an engineer for MONCHA, the biggest tech firm in the world and the company behind the "baku" - a customizable "pet" with all the capabilities of a smartphone. But when Lacey is rejected by the elite academy that promises that future, she's crushed.

One night, Lacey comes across the broken form of a highly advanced baku. After she repairs it, the cat-shaped baku she calls Jinx opens its eyes and somehow gets her into her dream school. But Jinx is different than any other baku she's ever seen.... He seems real.

As Lacey settles into life at school, competing with the best students in a battle of the bakus that tests her abilities, she learns that Jinx is part of a dangerous secret. Can Lacey hold on to Jinx and her dreams for the future?

BEST BOOK OF ALL TIME

This was my favorite book of all time, where is the second book???!!! Please read this!!!!!!!

😄

That woas epic i wont part 2 so much h h h h h h h h h

Good

It was the best story I’ve ever heard
It is so good five stars for sure

LOVE THIS!!! (Mild spoiler warning)

It starts smooth as butter but closer to the end it gets more suspenceful and exiting! The beetle might be evil but im kinda scared of him after the cliffhanger. I really like how every baku has the same polite and sweet personality but not jinx! Unlike the others, he is funny, naughty, and sassy!

Great book

I liked the entire book and I read it in one day
but we neeeeeeeeed a third book
