'It's romcom perfection' – Adiba Jaigirdar, author of The Henna Wars
Nerds are so hot. Especially battle–robot–building nerds.
When Bel accidentally reveals a talent for engineering at school, she's forced into joining the robotics club. Enter Mateo Luna, perfect on paper – captain of the football team and the robotics club – who recognizes Bel as a potential asset, even if they couldn't be more different. And as the nights of after–school work grow longer, Bel and Teo realize they've made more than just a combat–ready robot for the championship: they've made a connection themselves.
But with graduation approaching, their differences and what they want for their futures, threatens what they've built together. Can they survive Nationals without breaking their robots – or their hearts?
