Project Droid

Hilarious story about a slightly crazy science and engineering experiment Logan Applebaum tries to keep his new robot cousin, Java, a secret Logan's science fair rivals steal Java, and Logan worries they'll discover Java's true identity. If you thought your science fair experience was nerve-wracking, try being Logan Applebaum. One day, his inventor mother declares that she made a new robot cousin for Logan, Java. Java might be incredibly bright, but he'll also be quite the handful. Logan had a picture of how the third grade would go. Java was not part of that picture. As the third grade science fair gets closer and the kids prepare for their experiments, Logan thinks Java will come in handy. He can at least help Logan beat the Silverspoon twins, who always win everything. Unfortunately for Logan, the twins Sherry and Jerry steal Java as their partner. Even worse, these kids become suspicious. Can Logan work quickly enough to keep a crazy experiment from becoming a crazier disaster? Join mother-daughter author duo Nancy Krulik and Amanda Burwasser as they introduce the comedic pair of Logan and Java. This first installment of their Project Droid #1 story reminds readers of Amelia Bedelia with a delightful modern edge. Science No Fair! is an excellent pre- bedtime book choice.

Logan better study up on his geography facts so he doesn't flunk out! Third-grader Logan Applebaum has the perfect solution to finding time for all that pesky homework-just have his cousin, Java, do it for him. With a robot cousin, Logan's pretty much guaranteed straight A's. But when Mrs. Perriwinkle announces that the class will have a geography bee, Logan realizes that if he doesn't want to be exposed as a cheater, he's going to have to hit the books and fill his own hard drive with facts. The competition's going to be tough. And the more time he spends studying, the more he wants to show what he's learned. Can Logan out-smart the mega mean Silverspoon twins who win at everything and a cousin who's a super computer to come out on top as the geography king?

Logan auditions for the school play and is chosen for the role of Chipmunk Number Three, but unfortunately, Java, Logan's robot cousin, doesn't get a part, which means he and Logan won't be hanging out together every day after school. Logan's excited to have something to himself and starts spending more and more time with his new friends. Now with so much time on his hands, Java is determined to make some new friends, too--the dishwasher, the electric mixer, the refrigerator . . . But his favorite new friend is Spike, the voice activated program on Mrs. Applebaum's cell phone. While Java can't be in the play, he ends up helping out with building the sets, and almost blows his cover! But when Logan freezes and forgets his lines on stage, and Java (who has memorized them in an instant) feeds them to him the Cyrano-style, it's the android who saves the day. After all, that's what friends are for. Internationally bestselling author Nancy Krulik and her incredibly talented daughter, Amanda Burwasser, spin hilarious high jinks in the fourth book in the Project Droid series, which combines the literalness of Amelia Bedelia with a wacky modern edge, making for hours of laughter. And the fun continues with an activity in the back!

Logan and his robot cousin Java are playing ball in the garage, a.k.a. Mom's lab, when they accidentally break her haircutting machine. They need to get a new one fast! The good news: they find one online. The bad news: it's going to cost a lot of money. So the pair tries out a series of jobs to make some quick cash-dusting the furniture (Mom didn't mean dumping the dust from the vacuum on the couch), holding a flea market (10 cents a flea!), and even starting a dog grooming/walking business (which is pretty ruff). Finally, they decide to try a bake sale, only they're out of chocolate chips, so they use bacon instead. Customers think their cookies are disgusting, but a dog accidentally gets one and scarfs it right down. Logan and Java make a lousy cookie, but a perfect dog treat! After earning the money they need, they buy the new haircutting machine and slip it into Mom's workshop so she'll never know. Or will she? International bestselling author Nancy Krulik and her incredibly talented daughter, Amanda Burwasser, spin hilarious high jinks in the fifth book in the Project Droid series, which combines the literalness of Amelia Bedelia with a wacky modern edge, making for hours of laughter.

Logan's surprised when the Silverspoon Twins invite Java and him to their birthday party. They say it's going to be the biggest, most incredible party ever. The local newspaper is even going to send a reporter to cover it! But Logan knows one thing for certain-he better come up with a really good present, or he'll never hear the end of it. When the boys get to the party, it's a full-blown carnival. And even though Logan's warned Java to act normal (which is pretty hard for a robot), there's a lot that can go wrong . . . and it does! And worse, the reporter seems to have noticed. Logan's worried that she'll find out his cousin's secret! As the reporter starts asking all sorts of questions, Logan announces that all of Java's feats of strength and shock are just an illusion, and launches into an impromptu magic show with his amazing assistant, Java, to throw her off the trail. But will Logan be able to make this whole mess-Abracadabra!-disappear, before Java's big secret becomes headline news?
