Charlie's the laid-back captain of the basketball team, and Nate is the neurotic, scheming president of the robotics club. But they are friends, however unlikely--until Nate declares war on the cheerleaders. At stake is funding that will either cover a robotics competition or new cheerleading uniforms--but not both. <br>It's only going to get worse: after both parties are stripped of their funding on grounds of abominable misbehavior, Nate enrolls the club's robot in a battlebot competition in a desperate bid for prize money. Bad sportsmanship? Sure. Chainsaws? Why not. Running away from home on Thanksgiving to illicitly enter a televised robot death match? Of course! <br>In Faith Erin Hicks' and Prudence Shen's world of high school class warfare and robot death matches, Nothing can possibly go wrong.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Smart and funny; don't miss this one." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/>"This story has everything: basketball, dastardly cheerleaders, a robot rumble, conniving geeks, a house party, family drama, student body council elections, and a tiny sliver of romance." --<i>Booklist, starred review</i> <p/>"I love Hicks' artwork and I'm excited to see what new author Shen has in store.
