What would you do if you had a machine that could do your homework for you and print it out in your own handwriting? Would you tell anyone, or would you keep it to yourself? Brenton has programmed his computer so it can do just that, and when the three other fifth-graders in his class group find out, he lets them use it, too. Using the homework machine together changes their lives in ways they never would have expected. What will happen when their secret begins to unravel?
