The Midnight Idea Machine: Pebbles The Pug Series
About this ebook
When Pebbles—a small pug with a very big heart—discovers the Midnight Idea Machine, she unleashes ideas that turn into real things: murals that glow, laughter that spreads, and joy that brings people together. But not everyone believes imagination is a good thing.
As fear begins to drain the town of its happiness, Pebbles must make a brave choice—stand up for creativity or watch the world turn gray.
With the help of loyal friends, a mysterious notebook, and a festival born from hope, Pebbles learns that the most powerful ideas don’t come from machines at all…
They come from the heart.
A warm, imaginative story about courage, creativity, and choosing joy—even when it’s hard.
Perfect for kids who dream big, feel deeply, and believe that even the smallest voice can change everything.

About the author
Allen DeKeyser is a storyteller who believes that ideas matter—especially the quiet ones.
He writes books for kids and adults that are full of heart, imagination, honesty, and hope. His stories often remind readers that being kind is powerful, creativity is important, and even small voices can make a big difference.
Allen loves dogs (a lot), believes imagination can help people heal, and thinks the world is a better place when people create, dream, and care about one another. Many of his stories are inspired by real life, real feelings, and the belief that joy is something worth protecting.
When he’s not writing, Allen enjoys spending time with his dogs, thinking up new stories, and reminding himself—and others—that it’s okay to be different.
The Midnight Idea Machine is written for every kid who has ever felt small, unsure, or misunderstood… and for anyone who still believes ideas can change the world.
