House of Robots
Fifth-grader Sammy Hayes-Rodriguez already has enough trouble fitting in at school. Things get even more complicated when his inventor mother insists he bring her latest creation, a robotic 'brother,' to class. Follow Sammy as he navigates the challenges of middle school with a very unusual new sibling by his side, learning what it means to be a student and a family member.
This book is the first in a series that follows Sammy and his robotic brother, E. The subsequent books continue their adventures and introduce new challenges.
House of Robots is part of James Patterson's middle grade output, which often features younger protagonists and a more humorous tone than his adult thrillers. It shares the accessible writing style and engaging plot structure common in his books for younger readers.
