Bookroo's summary

In a desolate future, Strata and her brother are separated from their caravan of digital rescuers. With alien blobs devouring electricity and bandits lurking, their only ally is a rare robot pony. Can they escape the chaos and challenge the invaders threatening humanity's survival? As they navigate this perilous world, the siblings must decide if they can trust their mechanical companion to help save civilization. Will they find a way to push back against the alien menace, or will they succumb to the dangers of a world teetering on the brink of collapse?

From the publisher

The aliens have arrived. And they’re hungry for electricity. In the Earth of the future, humans are on the run from an alien force–giant blobs who suck up electrical devices wherever they can find them. Strata and her family are part of a caravan of digital rescuers, hoping to keep the memory of civilization alive by saving electronics wherever they can. Many humans have reverted to a pre-electrical age, and others have taken advantage of the invasion to become dangerous bandits and outlaws. When Strata and her brother are separated from the caravan, they must rely on a particularly beautiful and rare robot pony to escape the outlaws and aliens–and defeat the invaders once and for all.
