Eager
EGR3 is a robot who was recently designed by a famous scientist, Dr. Ogden. He sends him to a family called the Bells who are very old-fashioned and in need of a new robot to help out Grumps, their confused butler. I found this book interesting because the funny thing about EGR3 is that he can learn. Grumps is just a robot that's programmed to do whatever the Bell family wants him to do. That's why they named him Eager. Eager to learn, eager to help, eager to meet you. Most robots have to live by the robot laws like never hurt a human. But Eager is allowed to think himself and make his own choices. I thought of him as an infant born knowing how to think and walk. I also never knew that Eager was the first to a trilogy. It is one of my top five books. It goes: The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle (Avi) , City of Light, City of Dark (Avi), 101 Ways to Bug Your Teacher (Lee Wardlaw) , 101 Ways to Bug You Parents (Lee Wardlaw), and then Eager (Helena Fox). I would rate this book an 8.

My blog on Eager:
ReplyDeleteThis book is a very good book. Its funny and just cool. The house is just funny because he says a lot of jokes. Some he doesn't mean, and some he does. The voices in my head were saying "Why the heck did they just do that?" When the bullies tackled Gavin. But then when the bullies explained why the tackled him the voices said, "Sure you did" in a sarcastic tone. Sometimes the voices in your head help you read the book. And sometimes it doesn't. In this case, it did help.
