Robots, school, and fitting in

Sammy Hayes-Rodriguez is used to living among robots, but bringing his mother’s latest invention into his fifth-grade classroom puts that familiarity to a test. E, the walking, talking robot, thinks he is Sammy’s brother—and is even more nerdy than Sammy. The setup links school-day embarrassment and questions of belonging with the inventive bustle of Sammy’s family, including his inventor mother, graphic-novelist father, and little sister. As Sammy tries to manage E’s arrival at school, the story also introduces a secret connected to the family’s future. Humor and robot mishaps anchor a premise about being smart and finding where you fit.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in humorous fiction.

Book overview

An extraordinary robot enters an ordinary fifth grade class in this hilarious, action-packed start to celebrated series from the world's #1 bestselling author!

Sammy Hayes-Rodriguez has never really fit in, with an inventor mother, a graphic novelist father, a lovable little sister with an autoimmune disorder ... and house full of robots. So he's dreading the day when his mom insists he bring her newest invention to school: a walking, talking robot he calls E, for "Error". Sammy's no stranger to robots--he lives with a colorful cast of them--but this one not only thinks it's Sammy's brother ... it's actually even nerdier than Sammy.

Will E be Sammy's one-way ticket to Loserville? Or will he prove to the world that it's cool to be smart? It's a roller-coaster ride for Sammy as he discovers the amazing secret E holds that could change his family forever ... if all goes well on the trial run!

A #1 New York Times bestseller, perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid!

"A fast-moving plot, lots of jokes, and a host of weird robots will draw readers in, especially those looking for books similar to series such as 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid.'" --School Library Journal​
