Arbi and the Secret of the Clockwork Star

An enchanting adventure about finding your heart through the power of friendship

by Joona Roh

In the dusty corner of his grandfather’s attic, Leo finds more than just old trinkets—he finds Arbi. Arbi is a mechanical marvel, but he is missing his most vital parts: his Emotion and Purpose Chips. Unable to feel or remember where he came from, the silent robot is a hollow shell of his former self. Determined to help his new friend, Leo sets off on a journey to the legendary Clockwork Valley, a place where gears hum like bees and secrets are hidden in plain sight. Their path is far from easy. Together, they must navigate the rhythmic Whispering Gear Forest and cross the shimmering Mirror Lake to reach the frozen city of the Central Control Tower. Along the way, Leo realizes that Arbi’s missing pieces might not be stored in a box, but forged through the challenges they face together. Join Arbi and Leo in this beautifully told adventure that explores what it truly means to have a heart. From author Joona Roh comes a story of courage, connection, and the realization that the strongest circuits are built on love.
