Gadget Geeks great for any child
This tale of a gadget geek boy named Drew is an excellent book for any child interested in computers and digital games. With his pal Hope, who is a wealthy Hispanic girl, they dumpster dive for scrap electronic parts to build an exciting and creative robot. They get more than they bargained for when a greedy scientist tries to steal their awesome creation. Also included in the book are important lessons about cross culture friendships and the importance of family. Is there a child that wouldn't like a well-written story about the creation of a robot? I've never met one. Enjoy!
