The Homework Machine by Dan Gutman

Jump to Comments


Brenton knows everything already: Judy gets straight A’s by spending all her time doing homework; Sam’s a new kid who acts up in class and would rather play video games; and Kelsey only does enough work to not have to repeat fifth grade next year. They are the last four kids you’d ever match up, but when their new (and rather naive) 5th grade teacher, Miss Rasmussen assigns them to sit at the same table for the whole year, they are unexpectedly brought together by a common interest: Brenton’s homework machine. Other kids get suspicious when the four head over the Brenton’s house after school, but the adults have no clue. Will Sam, Judy, Kelsey and Brenton really get away with having a machine do their homework?  This book is written in short statements, switching between all the main characters, which makes the reading go by quickly.
