The story: When Maxine is assigned to befriend robot-in-training Fuzzy as part of integrated him into her school, she's thrilled. But it turns out to be a lot less exciting than she thought--the other kids make fun of her, her anti-robot mom isn't happy about it, and worst of all, she seems to have run afoul of the other AI presence in the school: evil robotic Vice Principal Barbara. Can Max keep one step ahead of Barbara, the military, AND the Russian baddies who want to kidnap Fuzzy?
June Cleaver's ratings: Language PG; Violence PG; Sexual content G; Nudity G; Substance abuse G; Magic & the occult G; GLBT content G; adult themes PG (artificial intelligence overstepping its programmed bounds); overall rating PG.
Liz's comments: A fun read for sci-fi lovers. Too bad the main character isn't a boy...that way, more guys (the usual audience for this kind of book) would be willing to give it a go.
