His best friend is Becky Martin, whose father owns the local computer store. DJ's family has just inherited Uncle Clive's entire fortune. Part of the inheritance is a factory that makes robots.

DJ turns to Uncle Clive, who didn't pass away, but just faked his demise so he could retire from the city and live next door to the Benson's farm. Uncle Clive suggests they order another robot. DJ asks Becky to help him assemble it, but the new robot is stolen, too! DJ believes that Becky's father has taken both robots. He confronts Mr. Martin, who pleads his innocence.

"Mark Twain's classic text has been a lightning rod for controversy since its first publication in the late nineteenth century, and has consistently been one of the most banned books in schools and libraries across the United States. In an effort to fight the censorship of this iconic piece of literature, editors Gabriel Diani and Etta Devine have removed every instance of the "n-word" and replaced it with the word "robot." Complete and unabridged (except for bits here and there), with E.W. Kemble's original illustrations painstakingly altered by artist Denise Devine to include robots, this bold new edition makes Twain's timeless work accessible to a whole new generation of readers...without being bogged down by what he wanted to say about racism." -- [book cover]
