Join Octavian, the often grumpy magician, and Replika, the endlessly excitable robot, in the latest installment of Tales of a Vernian Youth! They’ve stumbled into an alternate reality of robots who — as it turns out — are wary of squishy organics ever since Octavian’s mentor, Teacher, swiped some of their tech. Talk about awkward!
