The STEM ideas in this book are great, as are Lacey’s maker exploits. She may not have the funds of some of her schoolmates but she makes up for that in brains and gumption. A technology-obsessed girl with a lock up and passion for electronics. STEM Rules!Ĭentral character Lacey Chu is maker-marvel. Here are five reasons why you should read Jinxed. Amy McCulloch’s take on this starts with Jinxed, a novel where phones have been replaced by robotic animal avatars called “baku.” Presumably after the advent of some sort of “swipe to wipe” app. The idea that our increasing interconnectedness and reliance on technology to do everything might suddenly turn around to bite us on the bum. I do like a good “ social media gone wrong” story.
