In a house full of glowing screens, Ollie Henderson has never felt more alone. He's a ten-year-old boy adrift in a sea of digital distraction, his only anchor the timeless wisdom of his grandfather. But when that anchor is suddenly gone, Ollie discovers the strange and beautiful legacy he was left behind: an echo in the machine.
Grandroid is his grandfather's voice, captured in an AI, ready to offer advice on everything from foul throws to fifth-grade history. As Ollie confronts his grief, he and his digital mentor embark on an unexpected journey into music, friendship, and courage. With the help of his new bandmates, he'll learn to turn grief into melody, love into rhythm, and find a surprising new way to connect with the grandfather he thought he'd lost forever.
GRANDROID is a powerful and imaginative novel about how we remember the ones we love, and how the right story-or the right song-can help us heal.
