Tinkerville: The Incredible Inventions of Stanley Rabbitowski

Book 1: The Zoomie Board

Twelve-year-old Stanley Rabbitowski is a dreamer, a doodler, and a born inventor. When he creates the Zoomie Board—a self-powered skateboard that helps his slow-moving friend Timothy Turtling zip across town—he thinks he’s solved a simple problem; however, he has no idea he’s about to turn his quiet little town of Tinkerville upside down.

What starts as one clever invention quickly creates hilarious chaos. The whole town stops walking. The power grid strains under the demand to charge more and more batteries. And when a massive storm hits, Tinkerville faces a crisis no one saw coming.

Narrated with warmth and wit by Stan’s big sister Sally, this exciting adventure follows Stan and his friends as they learn that real invention isn’t just about brilliant ideas—it’s about messy notebooks, crazy prototypes, failing forward, and working together.

Perfect for ages 8-12, Tinkerville is packed with humor, heart, and unforgettable lessons in creativity and perseverance. No worksheets. No lectures. Just a fun, page-turning story that shows kids how real inventors and entrepreneurs think: spot a problem, test wild ideas, learn from every flop, and never give up.

If your child loves stories about friendship, invention, problem-solving, and turning mistakes into triumphs, they’ll be hooked from the very first page.

One Zoomie Board changed everything for Tinkerville… and it might just spark something amazing in your child, too.
