In Xander's Own Words:
Hello out there! I’m Xander. I love all things technology—anything that beeps, blinks, rolls, or rockets. If it has gears, code, wheels, or wires, I want to take it apart, study it, and make it even cooler. Robots, machines, tall buildings, emergency vehicles… I’m always imagining how everything works.
One day, I’m going to build something amazing—maybe the fastest rocket or a train that can zoom around the world in an hour. I haven’t decided yet, but I’m working on it. It’s going to be amazing!

Debut Title:
Xander's Show & Tell Surprise
In my debut story, Xander’s Show & Tell Surprise, I really, really want something amazing to bring to school—maybe a firetruck, a police car, or even a set of big rig trucks. But when none of those toys show up, I’m disappointed… big time.
What I didn’t know is that something unexpected was waiting for me.
Something loud.
Something exciting.
Something way bigger than a toy.
Show & Tell is about to get a whole lot more interesting… but will it be enough?
Book 2:
Xander Can't Compute
In Xander Can’t Compute, I’m facing my biggest challenge ever—a whole week at Kid Campion Camp. And the worst part?
No. Technology. Allowed.
No computers.
No robots.
No screens of any kind.
Nothing.
How am I supposed to survive a camp where electronics don’t even exist?
Come along and see what happens in this funny, unexpected, unplugged adventure!
Xander.
Gadget Lover.
Big thinker.
Always curious. Always clever. Always Xander.
