<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Four kids share a secret--a homework machine. Everything is great for a while, but soon the machine becomes more powerful than they ever imagined, and even its inventor is powerless to stop it.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Doing homework becomes a thing of the past! <p/> 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. <p/> 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!<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Dan Gutman hated to read when he was a kid.
