Mari Mancusi always wanted a dragon as a pet. Unfortunately, the fire insurance premiums proved a bit too large and her house a bit too small, so she chose to write about them instead. As a former Emmy Award–winning TV news producer, she now works as a full-time author, having published over two dozen books for kids, teens, and adults. When not writing, Mari enjoys traveling, cosplay, watching cheesy (and scary) horror movies, and playing video games. A graduate of Boston University, she lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband, Jacob, daughter, Avalon, and their two dogs.
Gary Tiedemann is a Florida and New York-based narrator, but learned how to act in Chicago’s improv, sketch-comedy, and theater scene. He came to audiobook narration after voicing countless commercials and videos over a twenty-year voice-over career. When Gary is not in a booth, he is probably outside wondering if there is time to go camping.

Wonderful book. I just couldn't stop reading. I just felt an urge to read it every time I saw it. Would definitely recommend but read the first book first( the first book is also amazing).......more
Compared to the first book- I hated it. Everything that was set up in the first book (ai has a conscience, evil game devs, etc.) was not payed off in the end. They made their sidekick the villain, and the main antagonist just a “SiLlY lItTlE aI tHaT wAsNt fOlLowInG PrOgRaMiNg” It absolutely infuriate......more
With pacing that severely drags in the middle, I do believe Dragons vs Robots does contain a few good character moments as well as nicely incorporating PTSD and a need to talk through anxiety with a mental health professional (which I always think is something nice when tackled in children's literat......more
“Fast pacing and one dangerous situation after another build an exciting genre introduction for fans of sci-fi VR games.” School Library Journal
