Lots of interesting things take place in this Maud Hart Lovelace nominee. I like the first-person entries written by the different students in the class. The entries are mostly by the four kids whose desks are arranged together in Ms. Rasmussen's fifth grade class. Four very different students, unlikely to end up friends begin to spend time together. Each one has a unique story and outlook on the homework machine and their relationship with Brenton (the creator of the machine) and each other. A moral dilemma arises. How would you deal with this? Read this book and let's talk about your reaction to Mr. Milner, the police who get involved and the new teacher at the school—Ms. Rasmussen.
