The Homework Machine by Dan Gutman

Four fifth-grade students--a geek, a class clown, a teacher's pet, and a slacker--as well as their teacher and mothers, each relate events surrounding a computer programmed to complete homework assignments.

    This book is probably more directed towards those in elementary school in that it is somewhat juvenile. Plus, the idea in the storyline is also kind of childish. Not very sure that this should be even nominated for the Newberry.

    Only read this if you are looking for something short.

    It was not my kind of book. More of a third grade book. It didn't really have a point to it. Not one of the best ones I have read.

    2 out of a 5

    This book was really easy for me,I read it in less than a day. I liked how the book was written with paragraphs from each of the different peole but the story was kind of childish and stupid. Overall this book was one of my least favorites.Only a 2 out 0f 5 rating.

    I thought this book was great. It might have been aimed for younger kids, but i really liked the characters and the different twists. Also, it was creative for the charactors to tell their sides of the story from a police recording. I give it a 7 out of 10.
