Table of ContentsReviews"""I dislocated my jaw laughing."" -- ""Eoin Colfer, New York Times bestselling author of the Artemis Fowl series"" ""Jack Patterson's dynamic performance captures the emotions of fifth-grader Sammy Rodriguez-Hayes and his 'brother'--the robot he calls 'Error.' Sammy's youth and awkwardness are effectively conveyed by Patterson with an energetic voice and well-timed, perfectly delivered quips. Patterson's portrayal of the robots is also superbly done, with a fractured, irregular pace to convey their fragmented speech. The addition of sound effects of echoing and electronic pings adds another dimension to their realistic metallic voices. Patterson's lively presentation of all the characters is immediately engaging, and he deftly modulates his tone to highlight the moments of joy and seriousness in this endearing story. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award."" -- ""AudioFile"" ""There are plenty of amusing jokes. Young readers with an interest in science will certainly be engaged."" -- ""Kirkus Reviews"" ""This light and funny story incorporates plenty of humor...Sammy's relationships with his parents, sister, and best friend are strong...A fast-moving plot, lots of jokes, and a host of weird robots will draw readers in."" -- ""School Library Journal"" ""Underlying the novel's laughs are themes of friendship, compassion, and family, particularly in regard to Sammy's devotion to his younger sister...and his deepening relationship with his 'bro-bot.'"" -- ""Publishers Weekly""" Author InformationJames Patterson is the world's bestselling author.
