DOING HOMEWORK BECOMES A THING OF THE PAST
The unlikely foursome made up of a geek, a class clown, a teacher's pet, and a slacker -- Brenton, Sam "Snick,", Judy and Kelsey, respectively, -- are bound together by one very big secret: the homework machine. Because the machine, code named Belch, is doing their homework for them, they start spending a lot of time together, attracting a lot of attention. And attention is exactly what you don't want when you are keeping a secret.
Before long, members of the D Squad, as they are called at school are getting strange Instant Messages from a shady guy named Milner; their teacher, Miss Rasmussen, is calling private meetings with each of them and giving them pop tests that they are failing; and someone has leaked the possibility of a homework machine to the school newspaper. Just when the D Squad thinks things can't get any more out of control, Belch becomes much more powerful than they ever imagined. Soon the kids are in a race against their own creation, and the loser could end up in jail...or worse!

It all starts that Brenton brags to Snik, a.k.a. Sam, that he has made a homework machine that can do homework for people. Soon he is pressured by him to show it. So after school he and his friends go to Brenton's house, finding that he is not lying. As they use it more and more, they realize that the computer has become more intelligent and someone is after it. How will they be able to stop him?

I personally don't like this book. I don't like the style the author used. I can't imagine why kids read this for fun. I'm in 5th grade I want something more challenging.
This book was great 😀
Do you like homework? Well this machine takes care of that. This book is about a group of kids who have a machine that does their homework. They all swore not to tell anyone about it. Then they realize that someone knows about it. I would rate this book 5 stars because of all the mystery and new friendship that forms. Unlike other books, this book is wrote as if you are with the character.
Do you like doing homework? Well, this book takes care of that problem. It is about a group of kids (called the D-squad) that use a homework machine to get their work done. The name of the kid that invented the machine is a boy named Brenton, who is quite unusual. Brenton is a super intelligent kid and is a computer genius! The D-squad name the machine "Belch" because if anyone found out, the Homework Machine would get them in a LOT of trouble. They swore to not tell anybody any information about the machine. Eventually, the truth came out. I would rate this book 5 stars because of the suspense and personalities of the characters. One of the unique features in this book is that the story is written in point of view so you know how each character feels. I would like to give credit to Yetiman789 because he did this review with me.
