Notes

The brand-new series from the author of the magical Potion Diaries adventures!
Lacey Chu has big dreams of becoming a companioneer for MONCHA, the largest tech firm in North America and the company behind the "baku"—a customisable smart pet that functions as a phone but makes the perfect companion, too. When Lacey finds out she hasn't been accepted into Profectus—the elite academy for cutting edge tech—it seems her dreams are over. Worst of all, rather than getting to choose one of the advanced bakus, shes stuck with a rubbish insect one.
Then, one night, Lacey comes across the remains of an advanced baku. Once it mightve been in the shape of a cat, but its now mangled and broken, no sign of electronic life behind its eyes. Days of work later and the baku opens its eyes. Lacey calls him Jinx—and Jinx opens up a world for her that she never even knew existed, including entry to the hallowed halls of Profecus. Slowly but surely, Jinx becomes more than just a baku to Lacey—he becomes her perfect companion. But what is Jinx, really? His abilities far surpass anything written into his code or built into his motherboard. He seems to be more than just a robotic pet. He seems...real.
