When thirteen-year-old Alex Rivera overclocks his mother’s workstation with an experimental AI and accidentally unleashes digital chaos on the family home, his punishment is simple: spend the entire summer stuck with his grandpa in a sleepy small town. No friends. No screen time. Just chores and “character building.”

But Alex has other plans. Together with a ragtag crew of misfit friends, he turns the summer at Grandpa’s old garage into a chaotic adventure. As the summer heats up, so do the stakes. Chaos Labs is a high-octane coming-of-age story about friendship, love, family, and what happens when you dare to build the impossible, and the growing realization that real growth doesn’t come from playing it safe.

Through it all, the town learns that chaos isn’t the enemy. Sometimes the best way to become who you’re meant to be is to trust the chaos.

Told with heart, humor, and hard-won wisdom, Chaos Labs is a coming-of-age story about invention, friendship, faith, and the wild, wonderful disorder of growing up.]]>enBooks2026https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/56de0c4e1da2a83ee1d0168467d00248.jpghttps://open.spotify.com/show/1Dkc3G178JWDVR9WcwnYkw?si=448f868ec20f4ba7Tue, 28 Jul 2026 02:31:17 +0000Josh PurdyJosh Purdychaoslabs2026@gmail.comThe complete 34 hour novel is available for purchase as an audiobook on Spotify: Just search Chaos Labs in Spotifty or click on the link in podcast description.
