Synopsis
The #1 New York Times bestseller, perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid!
An extraordinary robot enters an ordinary fifth grade class in this hilarious, action-packed start to the #1 bestselling series from James Patterson!
Sammy Hayes-Rodriguez has never really fit in, with an inventor mother, a graphic novelist father, a lovable little sister with an autoimmune disorder…and house full of robots. So he's dreading the day when his mom insists he bring her newest invention to school: a walking, talking robot he calls E, for "Error". Sammy's no stranger to robots—he lives with a colorful cast of them—but this one not only thinks it's Sammy's brother . . . it's actually even nerdier than Sammy.
Will E be Sammy's one-way ticket to Loserville? Or will he prove to the world that it's cool to be smart? It's a roller-coaster ride for Sammy as he discovers the amazing secret E holds that could change his family forever . . . if all goes well on the trial run!
“A fast-moving plot, lots of jokes, and a host of weird robots will draw readers in, especially those looking for books similar to series such as ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid.’’”—School Library Journal

Reviews
Gr 3–6—Sammy Hayes-Rodriguez has never had an easy time fitting in at school. His mother is an inventor, his father is a graphic novel artist, and his beloved little sister has an immune condition that keeps her confined to the house. His best friend Trip has a talent for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. And then, there are the robots: a houseful of his mother's creations, programmed to do everything from housework to tutoring, plus some that don't do anything useful at all. When Sammy's mother insists that he take a robot named E to school with him, he knows that he's in for a record-breaking amount of teasing and trouble-and when E starts insisting that he is Sammy's brother, the situation goes from bad to worse. Sammy refuses to have anything to do with E at school, even when the robot's popularity starts to eclipse Sammy's and Trip's. But when E is kidnapped, Sammy realizes that he was starting to get fond of his robot brother, and he teams up with friends (both human and robot) to solve the mystery of E's disappearance. This light and funny story incorporates plenty of humor, both in the text and in the accompanying comic-style illustrations. Sammy's relationships with his parents, sister, and best friend are strong, if not particularly nuanced. A fast-moving plot, lots of jokes, and a host of weird robots will draw readers in, especially those looking for books similar to series such as "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" (Abrams/Amulet) and "Timmy Failure" (Candlewick).—Misti Tidman, Licking County Library, Newark, OH
