Join Jason, a curious inventor-in-training, on an adventure that's out of this world... and right in his own backyard!

When Jason stumbles upon his Grandpa Gus's dusty, top-secret blueprint for the legendary Gizmo 3000 a fantastical machine rumored to grant any wish he knows he can't just leave it in the attic. He and his best friend, Pip, find the incredible contraption hidden in an old workshop, humming with a secret, electric energy. But when a tiny, whiskered creature named Gus the Gizmo Gopher accidentally hits the big red "GO" button, their ordinary afternoon turns into The Great Gizmo Getaway!

From a bumpy blast-off that ends in a SPLAT in Mrs. Periwinkle's prize-winning petunias to losing a vital screw down a dark, grimy storm drain, Jason and Pip must race against time. Their journey will take them through the clanking, rusty canyons of a junkyard, deep into the shadowy Whispering Woods that smell of damp earth and moss, and even sinking with a SCHLURP into the thick, gooey mud of the Sticky Swamp.

All the while, the grumpy neighborhood "order enforcer," Mr. Pinchers, is hot on their trail, sniffing out their every move.

With the help of new friends, like the brilliant young inventor Wren (and her trusty wrench!), Jason and Pip must find lost parts, dodge a cunning villain, and navigate a series of hilarious glitches. Can they fix the Gizmo, make it to the dazzling Inventor's Fair, and get home before their amazing machine sputters out for good?

Get ready for a story packed with whirring gears, buzzing inventions, the sweet smell of cotton candy, and the incredible power of friendship. The Great Gizmo Getaway is a non-stop, sensory-filled adventure where the biggest discoveries are just a wish and a few loose screws away!
