Pip and the Boy Who Stopped Building - Jeffrey Rittenhouse

Some questions change everything.

Caleb used to build things. Rockets. Gadgets. Inventions that took months and seventeen fixes to get right. Then one day at the school fair, something went wrong. Caleb put his tools away, shoved his hands in his pockets, and decided that building things was not for him anymore.

Then Pip arrived.

Ancient, glowing, no bigger than your fist, and full of questions nobody had thought to ask. Pip has a way of finding people who have stopped doing what they love most. Caleb is about to discover that the best builders don't stop when something goes wrong.

They just look for the eighteenth fix.

A story about courage, curiosity, and the magic of making things.
