Editorial Review:
Doing homework becomes a thing of the past!
Meet the D Squad, a foursome of fifth graders at the Grand Canyon School made up of a geek, a class clown, a teacher's pet, and a slacker. They 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, things start to get out of control, and Belch becomes much more powerful than they ever imagined. Now the kids are in a race against their own creation, and the loser could end up in jail...or worse!

Rating:  - teacher of grades 4-5
Kids in grades 4-5 will love this book! It is a bit too easy for middle school kids, but a fun read none the less. It is written unlike most other chapter books. It is written more like an interview conducted with each character as the school year progresses and problems arise with Belch. This book can teach valuable lessons on ethics and morals. This is a definite read for my students this year. If you are a child who does not like to read or are a teacher or parent who knows kids who are reluctant ... Read More
Rating:  - Military families beware
The book had a few clever bits of writing which might appeal to young readers, however the format made for very fragmented characters. It does not deserve the Sunshine State award. I also object to the paragraph written about Sam's father: "He died for nothing." The paragraph is only a few sentences and is really the only reflection of feeling from the characters when this major event happens. It is an abrupt explaination of a very complex situation and completely inappropriate for this reading level. ... Read More
Rating: - THE BEST BOOK EVER !!!!
The homework machine is a great book it is about a group of kids who become friends. They become friends by using a machine made to do homework codenamed Belch. The book is very very funny and knows just when to add humor to it. The only bad thing about this book is that you wish the book was longer.
I think this is a good book for kids and grown-ups alike. You should read this book as soon as you can, so you can read it before people start talking about it and you look like a dummy. Read ... Read More
Rating: - Hal's review
This book is about four kids who create a homework machine to do they're homework for them, but is this a gift or a curse? Their classmates begin to get suspicious and attempt to get them to admit it, but will one of them crack?
I enjoyed how everyone gets to express they're own point of view throughout the book, and how the author introduces different characters throughout the book. It's a shame that it didn't last longer, but then again I didn't stop reading it so that would be why.

I bought this for my Grandson (age 7) but he isn't quite old enough to thoroughly enjoy it - I think on reading it that a nine-year-old would enjoy it more and I'm saving it for him to read in another year or two. He is, however, a great far of Mr. Gutman's "My Weird School" series.
