TODAY, the adventure continues. Rise of the TechPals launches into the world, and with it comes a new chapter in a story that began with a spark—a spark lit by the imagination of a little boy.
It all started when Jordan visited the Museum of Science in Boston. There, he came face-to-face with Spot, the robotic dog. For most visitors, it was an amazing exhibit. For Jordan, it was the beginning of a universe. He came home buzzing with excitement, full of ideas, and one simple, life-changing question:
“Grammy, can you help me?”
From that moment, A Boy and His D.O.G. was born. Jordan took everything he loved—dogs, superheroes, and wild adventures—and built the world of Blu and his robotic Great Dane, D.O.G. But he didn’t stop there. Jordan wanted his story to be fun, yes, but also funny. Because what’s the point of saving the world if you can’t laugh along the way?
He poured in glitchy robots, snarky one-liners, and epic chaos—making sure that kids wouldn’t just be turning pages for the action, but also for the laughs.
And really—what child doesn’t dream of being a superhero? Jordan took that dream, wrapped it in humor, and brought it to life.
But at the heart of this journey lies something even bigger: imagination fueled by exposure to science and STEM. I was told recently that children are natural innovators, but as they grow older, the world often redirects their focus. Jordan’s wish is simple yet powerful—that kids everywhere hold onto their dreams, never letting go of the wild, wonderful visions that make childhood so magical.
Rise of the TechPals is more than just a book release today. It’s a celebration of dreaming big, thinking outside the box, and laughing along the way. It’s a reminder that imagination can build worlds, and sometimes the greatest adventures begin with a child daring to say:
“Can you help me?”
A Boy and His D.O.G.
