maybe their parents and teachers, too. Read this to the boy as a bedtime story book a while ago. We
both really liked it, though it is a little bit dated. It's funny, I kept thinking that, essentially, OpenAI is
the homework machine. I mean, not really, because somehow the kid in the book manages to invent a
computer that replicates handwriting too, so you can literally just feed it your homework and it does
it "as you." But...pretty close, right? So I'll keep this one as a personal favorite. I still read it often,

schoolmates bond over a homework machine. I had to read this book for Battle of the Books and
didn't care for it at all. For one thing, the story is completely improbable. Secondly, it flips from
perspective to perspective (within very few pages) and that makes the story extremely choppy. Also,
a serious tragedy happens to one of the kids and I didn't like the way the book dealt with it at all. 30

4.5 stars. This book was a good one that I'd recomend for kids ages 10-12. 'The Homework Machine'
by Dan Gutman takes you on a sort of sci-fi adventure, when Sam, Brenton, Judy, and Kelsy find out
that Brenton has invented a homework machine they nickname Belch. You see Brenton was different
from the day he was born, he never cried as a baby, and wrote his first piece of music when he was
six. He also never seemed to have friends. Then Brenton let's his little seceret slip and tells Sam about
the homework machine. If you want to find out what happens to them (and Belch) you'll have to

not like in this book was the fact that a girl in grade 5 getting her bellybutton pierced. It works out in
the end, but that was just not right. There is a reason there is an age requirement for that type of
piercing and this is too young. Other than that, my son thought it was a great book and that's what
matters to me.

Satellite Beach, Florida, United States Gr 4-6-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. The dynamics within the
group are stressful as well. Judy, a talented student, feels guilty about cheating, but is pressured to
excel. Kelsey is concerned that her friends will shun her for associating with "nerds," but her
improved grades earn privileges at home. Wisecracking Sam makes fun of Brenton but needs his help
in playing chess by mail with his dad, who is serving in Iraq. The children gradually begin to bond,
especially after Sam's father is killed in combat. Eventually, their secret causes conflict with the law.
The story is told entirely through short excerpts from police interviews. This device shows the
developing relationships through the kids' own observations. There are touches of humor in the way
the four classmates talk about themselves and one another. Ominous hints about the legal trouble
maintain tension throughout the story, but its exact nature isn't revealed until near the end. A
dramatic and thought-provoking story with a strong message about honesty and friendship.-Elaine E.

Feelings Graphic Organizer So this book has aged. Whether it's Snik's comment that kids being stuck
inside is making them fat, Brendon's being arguably an autistic Asian stereotype (the only Asian
character being a socially awkward kid who's also a supergenius is... ehhhh), Judy's musing that if
she doesn't want people to judge her for the color of her skin she shouldn't judge Kelsey for the color
of her hair, the military bootlicking throughout (good god the references to the generic “”””Middle
East””””) or the general belief that school and homework are ultimately good for kids... this is
definitely a slightly older one. This has 4 main character Sam Kelsy Judy and Brenton. Brenton is
super smart. He creates a homework machine to do his homwwork for him. Sam says he does not
belive that it will work. So Sam Kelsy and Judy come over after school that day too see if its real. It
worked!!! It had his handwriting and all the anwsers were correct on his piece of paper. So Sam,
Kelsy and Judy decided they want to do it as well. But Brentons mom does not know what is
happening because Brenton never has anybody over. And they go there every day. A boy named John
sees this and he is wondering what was happening. This book was 4 stars because it was not so
exiting the whole time. (7) It was an amazing book that teaches a lesson. I read it quickly.

very different to the girl trailing him for grades, the boy with an army dad who hates homework and

together by one very big secret: the homework machine. Because the machine, code named Belch, is
doing their homework for them, they start spending a lot of time together, attracting a lot of
attention. And attention is exactly what you don't want when you are keeping a secret. Brenton,
Snik, Judy, and Kelsey are all back for another year of school and another mystery. When they
discover that the superchip that made The Homework Machine possible has fallen into the wrong
hands, they are determined to get it back. Combine that with their quest to discover a rumored

thought-provoking book. Get help and learn more about the design.
