Eliana’s review: “I like when the robots take over the school. I would have made a snug big robot for Broly. What robot would you have made?”

Mommy: “I would have made a robot that makes Broly stop licking and nibbling so much.”

Another good book in this series. Great imagination and creativity. Fun and fast-paced. For the whole family (or just you). A shorter book that definitely packs a lot of stuff in a small amount of time. Enjoy!

They meet a new friend, Olive, and the DATA set becomes a quartet. They have to build a robot as a class assignment. As expected, something goes awry when Dr. Bunsen gets involved. They corral the AI robots and save the school.

Great book if you are looking to get your 2nd through 6th grade son into reading chapter books! It’s quick, fast paced, has lots of robots, and action. You do not need to have read the other books in the series to under stand it. AR level: 3.6 - Pts. 1.0

Just discovered this series and plan to go back and read #1-3. Seems very appropriate. The print is large and the vocab is easy. Perhaps this could qualify as a hi-lo? Has a lot of tech in the plot. Would be a good choice for a computer-obsessed boy who is a weak reader.

Great series for early/emerging readers. Full of action, good characters, and interesting plot.
