The Homework Machine by Dan Gutman


Fifth-grader Brenton is a computer genius, but the other three members of his work group think he's a nerd. So, when he tells them that he has invented a machine that does homework, they taunt him until he agrees to demonstrate. The machine actually works, and Kelsey, Sam, and Judy convince him to let them use it. At first, they are delighted with their freedom, but things quickly get out of hand. Their teacher is suspicious of the suddenly errorless work, and other friends resent the time that they spend together. How will it all turn out?

  12. I liked this book because it is really realistic. It is almost as if you knew the characters. This book really keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next.(PS:I recommend reading the sequel.)

  14. This book was great with all of the comotion. Sometimes I wish I could have a howework machine myself. Ive alwase dreaded reading homework so this would come in handy quit often. And if you enjoyed it as much as i did you would want to read the sequal[ Return of the Homework machine.] You can find this in the library at birch lake elemetry. Hope you enjoy the book.
