I found this book recommended in an article by a library. The author is a Thai mechanical engineer from Texas who also writes children's books: so cool! It's nice to read something that's intended for middle grades every once in a while.

Perhaps something along the lines of someone who'd be interested in books like Blockchain Chicken Farm. It's the …
