=The Homework Machine =

By Daniel Baker
This book is about 4 kids that get in trouble for using a Homework Machine to do their homework for them. This book is realistic fiction and is great. I strongly recommend this book for action and suspense lovers.

I like this book because it has a very good plot. The problem in the book is when 4 kids use a homework machine to do their homework for them, they try to keep it a secret but word slips out. The kids find out and are on a race to get everything back together but it just gets worse. I like the plot because it’s very suspenseful, like when they start using the homework machine to do their homework, but people start getting suspicious and start talking, so the 4 kids start wondering who was to blame.

The theme of the story was 4 kids causing trouble and might be getting thrown in jail for cheating on their tests, and homework. I like it because it starts to get a little more action like when they try to get rid of the machine, but it literally has a mind of its own, so they throw it down the Grand Canyon with a catapult**!** Now who doesn’t want to read that!

The stories’ setting is in the sheriff’s office when 4 kids get called into the office for being convicted of cheating on tests and mostly homework by a Homework Machine. I like that because it is simple enough to read and not get confused with other places in the story. The author does a good job at explaining the characters and giving them a personality like Judy is the very sensitive one, Brenton is the smarter one, Kelsy is the ordinary one, Sam is the “get it done” one.

I liked the way the author didn’t use many synonyms, antonyms, or idioms. It was easier to understand how the kids were talking and not making any jokes. I also thought that they were off subject allot, and that got me a little mad, but at the end, all of things they talk about come into play at the end of the book. That surprised me, which I loved.

So I like the book because it is very suspenseful and had some action in it. It is an excellent book for readers who love suspense and action. I recommend this book for people that like adventures also.
