My Robot Buddy

Summary: Slightly Outdated Sci-Fi Still Fun
Review: All Jack wants for his birthday is a robot. When his parents give in, he's thrilled. Feeling only a little guilty, he orders exactly what he wants in a friend in Danny One. But what will happen when trouble follows them home?

This is a simple, straight forward book. In fact, it's a little two simple. The book is more the pilot for a series then a story all its own since it sets up the characters for future books. Still, it's a fun, fast read that kids will enjoy. I know I sure did.

Originally written in 1975, there were a few things about this future world that made me laugh, especially the conflict over getting a mobile phone because of how expensive they are.

I spent about a year obsessed with these characters growing up. I even took every opportunity I could to walk stiff in the knees myself. Rereading this book, I easily found the fun again. It's a shame the others aren't still in print so everyone can enjoy the adventures of Jack and Danny One.

Summary: Begninning sci-fi book for young readers
Review: Jack Jameson is turning ten soon, and all he wants for his birthday is a robot. His parents take him to ATKINS ROBOT Inc. where they design DANNY ONE, Jack's friend. Jack and Danny play together and even outsmart a robot-napper. The story is written in the voice of Jack. I think that the book is intended for a male audience. Even though the boys couldn't share the same experiences, like eating and receiving a battery charge, they could climb trees and go fishing together. Mr. Jameson and Jack are round characters, changing from the beginning to the end of the book. This book is science-fiction because it takes place in the future. There are Read/Screens (TVs), solar cars, and best of all, robots. "My Robot Buddy" would be a good book for self-selected reading. I would offer this book to a student who has an early interest in sci-fi or to a student who likes robots.

Summary: A science fiction for young readers
Review: My Robot Buddy is a science fiction written especially for children 7 to 10 years old. The plot is simple and uncomplicated; the descriptions and details are just enough to make the story believable without confusing young readers. Jack Jameson's family has moved away from Metropolis III so Jack can grow up away from the modern life, but Jack is lonely out in the country. He begs for a robot friend for his birthday, so he will have someone to play with. However, he knows his family really cannot afford one. His father needs a mobile phone which is also very expensive. This may not ring true for children today since cellular phones are very common and not all that expensive. However, I still think children will enjoy the characters and the plot of this story.
