Kids who love robot will love this book about a seventh-grade girl named Tori and her robot Arti. Tori, a student at Wollstonecraft Middle School mostly keeps to herself. She prefers to work on her science experiments without the help of her hall-pass-forging, paper-airplane-making lab partner Graham. That all changes when she creates the most advanced invention that Wollstonecraft Middle School has ever seen: Arti, a walking, talking paper shredder. Arti can eat anything made out of paper, but he doesn't just eat it - he is able to absorb whatever the paper says. Tori needs Graham's help to keep Arti out of the clutches of their science teacher, a wannabe evil genius named Mr. Nefario. If Graham and Tori want to keep Arti away from Mr. Nefario, then they're going to have to teach Arti to blend in. Unfortunately, Arti doesn't know the first thing about how to be a middle-schooler. Arti's ability to gain knowledge from each piece of paper he shreds helps. He learns how to speak when he shreds an entire dictionary, how to solve the most complicated geometry problems, and even how to make eggplant parmesan with the help of Tori's mother's recipe book. As Arti learns about the struggles and joys of being a middle school student, it gets harder and harder to hide the fact that he's an invention, and not a human. Can Tori hide the truth from Mr. Nefario, the entire school, and even Arti himself? What are you waiting for? GET A COPY TODAY!
