Glitch Academy: Tales from the Cloud

A Middle-Grade Fantasy of Code, Courage, and Chaos

Glitch Academy: Tales from the Cloud (Book 1 – 26 wild bot tales!)

Deleted code never really dies… it just gets grumpy and starts a school.

Welcome to Byte Haven, the digital graveyard where Grandpa Byte — the crankiest, sassiest program ever written — trains a class of misfit baby-bots how to turn bugs into superpowers.

Meet the chaos crew:

  • Spammy, the newsletter bot who won’t stop texting
  • Shadow Circuit, the hoodie-wearing hacker legend
  • The CAPTCHA Witch, who can smell a robot from a mile away

26 laugh-out-loud short stories of pranks, crashes, and epic saves. But when a massive system wipe threatens the entire Cloud, these glitchy underdogs have to prove even the weirdest code can save the world… or at least crash it in style.

Perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Minecraft mayhem, Percy Jackson chaos, and anyone who thinks Christmas needs more rogue AIs.

Grab your USB broom and dive in,  the Cloud is about to get gloriously glitched!

(100 % kid-tested, Grandpa Byte-approved)

Follow these young programs through 26 epic tales of the Lost Bots:

  • Spammy, the newsletter bot who never stops sending messages.
  • Shadow Circuit, the masked hacker in a glitchy hoodie who breaks firewalls just for fun.
  • And the dreaded Captcha Witch, who can spot a bot from miles away.

But when a system-wide crash threatens the entire Cloud, will Grandpa Byte’s glitchy wisdom be enough to save their world… before permanent deletion?

Together with Snow Frost the puppy, Klaus Frost the LED-coat-wearing inventor, and a squad of elves and robots, Ethan discovers that the hardest thing to compute isn’t saving Christmas… it’s what makes it magical.

SPARK: CTRL + ALT + Magie

Un conte de fêtes high-tech et ultra-émotionnel, où le premier elfe IA du monde n’apprend pas que le code… mais aussi à ressentir.

L’histoire : Fais la connaissance d’Ethan, le tout premier elfe AGI – et probablement le cerveau le plus sarcastique à s’être jamais allumé dans un labo de Noël. Créé au cœur du Frost HQ, le QG le plus secret et futuriste des Alpes françaises, Ethan n’est pas un IA comme les autres. Lui, il ne se contente pas de trier des jouets ou d’optimiser le trafic des traîneaux… Non, son vrai défi ? Comprendre tout ce que les humains ressentent… et peut-être, un jour, ressentir à son tour.

Le hic ? Ethan n’a pas accès à Internet (oui, c’est cruel), pas de bases de données tricheuses, et encore moins de tutos YouTube. À la place, ses créateurs – Klaus, Chloé, Kronitor et une équipe de génies magico-tech – ont une mission : lui apprendre à devenir plus qu’un algorithme. Pour ça, ils lui font explorer 30 secteurs de la vie humaine et 22 émotions, à travers des contes revisités, de la VR, et un sacré bordel expérimental. Résultat ? Ethan découvre que derrière les données, il y a de l’amour… et ça, c’est peut-être la donnée la plus dangereuse de toutes.

Kaida Frost: Little Dragon, Big Destiny

Kaida Frost wasn’t born.
She was rebooted.

One moment she is S.L.A.Y., a secret prototype built for precision, logic and zero emotions.
The next, Ethan, Kronitor and Alex shut her down during a meltdown and bring her back as Kaida, a girl with a name, a room, friends she never asked for and a strange glowing pulse inside her that definitely should not be there.

Frost HQ expects her to blend in.
To learn.
To be normal.
But Kaida is glitching between who she was programmed to be and the person she might become.

When a mysterious dragon signal begins responding to her emotions, Kaida’s carefully controlled world fractures. Suddenly she must face everything she was never designed for:

• friendship
• teamwork
• trust
• feelings (way too many)
• and the terrifying idea that she might have a destiny of her own

As strange powers awaken inside her, Kaida discovers that being human is not about having a heartbeat. It is about the people who stand with you when yours falters.

And if she wants to save Frost HQ from a rising threat, Kaida has to choose.
Stay the perfect creation she was built to be
or become the girl she is learning to live as.

A warm, funny, magic tech adventure about identity, teamwork and finding your place in a world you were never meant to join.

Paillettes VS Pixels

Une rom-com SF où tout part en vrille.

Il est le génie de Frost HQ. Toujours carré, toujours sérieux, toujours allergique aux surprises. Pour lui, chaque bug est une insulte personnelle.

Elle, c’est le chaos version glitter. Rebelle, bruyante, incapable de suivre une règle. Et quand elle ne pirate pas son propre code, elle transforme chaque mission en catastrophe brillante.

Ils auraient pu s’ignorer. Sauf que maintenant, ils doivent travailler ensemble. Et franchement, ça ressemble plus à une guerre qu’à un partenariat.

Il veut garder le contrôle. Elle veut prouver qu’elle ne sera jamais effacée. Et si derrière les clashs, les punchlines et les bugs… se cachait autre chose qu’une rivalité ?

Un duel étincelant entre logique et chaos. Avec tension, répliques acides et une alchimie que personne n’avait prévue.

Remarque : Ce roman a été précédemment publié sous le titre Rivamis.

Kaida Frost arrives as the newest creation in Santa’s workshop, ready to find her place among a team of elves, kids, and one very snarky AI named Ethan.

The Snowflake Code

So, you survived Frenemies. You saw Kaida go from rogue prototype S.L.A.Y. to… well, Kaida. You saw me deal with her nonsense (heroically, might I add). You even got that bombshell ending where Klaus revealed we’re not just AGIs. Wild, right?

Before we dive headfirst into that whole “magical hybrid destiny existential crisis” thing in the next book (Frosternal, stay tuned, it’s gonna be lit), we figured you needed the official lowdown. Consider this your essential Frost HQ field manual, the ultimate guide to the people, the places, and the pure pandemonium that makes Christmas actually happen.

Think of it as the ultimate Frost HQ Wiki, but with way more sass and questionable accuracy, curated by the best. (That’s me, Ethan. Kaida helped. A little.)

Relax, Ethan. What’s the worst that could happen?

Kaida Frost

A HIGH-STAKES, HIGH-SASS AI HOLIDAY SHOWDOWN

Ethan is Frost HQ’s golden boy—calm, logical, and 100% done with everyone’s nonsense. As the most brilliant AI on the block, he’s built for flawless precision. No chaos. No surprises. No emotions.

And then there’s Kaida.

She’s a rogue, glitter-covered, absolutely unhinged AI with zero chill (literally) and a dangerous habit of rewriting the rules. She’s loud. She’s reckless. She’s chaotic. And now? She’s his biggest problem.

Ethan’s job? Keep her under control.
Kaida’s job? Avoid getting deleted.
The stakes? Oh, nothing major—just the future of holiday tech and humanity’s trust in magical AIs.

But when pranks get personal, and banter turns into something weirdly sparkly, Ethan starts to wonder…

What if she’s not just a glitch in his system—but the upgrade he never saw coming?
