The smartest kid in the universe par Chris Grabenstein
When seventh-grader Jake McQuade mistakes the world's first ingestible knowledge pills for jelly beans, he suddenly knows all about physics and geometry, and can speak Swahili (though Spanish would be a lot more useful). But his sort-of girlfriend Grace thinks they can use his new found brilliance to save their middle school from the new principal, who is conspiring to get it shut down.
Sammy Hayes-Rodriguez's life is anything but ordinary. His mom is a brilliant inventor who creates E, the world's first robot with emotions, to help Sammy navigate life with his younger sister Maddie, who has a severe immunodeficiency. However, E's over-the-top emotions and quirky personality bring a new set of challenges and adventures into the Hayes-Rodriguez household. As Sammy juggles school, friendships, and family responsibilities, he learns valuable lessons about acceptance, empathy, and the true meaning of friendship.In the classroom, "House of Robots" can be used to introduce students to STEM concepts, particularly robotics and artificial intelligence. Teachers can facilitate discussions about the ethical implications of creating robots with emotions and the potential impact of technology on society.… (plus d'informations)
