It's the year 2071 and eleven year-old Kia Krumpet is determined to
build her 67 inventions, but she won't have the opportunity to unless
she earns a spot at PIPS, the Piedmont Inventor's Prep School. Kia, who
has trouble making friends at school, has dreamed of winning the
Piedmont Challenge and attending PIPS ever since she learned that her
Grandma Kitty won the very first Piedmont Challenge. After she and four
of her classmates are selected to compete for a spot at PIPS, they
travel by aero-bus to Camp Piedmont to solve a task against forty-nine
other state teams to earn their place at the best inventor's school in
the country.
