The homework machine : return of the homework machine: the talent show (other title)

Gutman, Dan, (author.).

Summary:

"In THE HOMEWORK MACHINE, doing homework becomes a thing of the past. An unlikely foursome -- made up of a geek, a class clown, a teachert's pet, and a slacker -- are bound together by one very big secret: a homework machine, which is doing all their homework for them. Before long, they are getting strange IMs from shady dudes and being called into private meetings with their teacher, and someone is leaking the possibility of a homework machine to the school newspaper. Just when they think things can't get any more out of control, the homework machine goes haywire -- and soon, they are in a race against their own creation, and the loser could end up in jail...or worse."

"In RETURN OF THE HOMEWORK MACHINE, the squad is back for another year of school and another mystery. When they discover that the superchip that made their homework machine possible has fallen into the wrong hands, they are determined to get it back. Add in rumors of an Egyptian treasure and a trip to the Grand Canyon -- and anything can happen!" [back cover]

"In THE TALENT SHOW, the kids of Cape Bluff, Kansas, have no idea there are so many aspiring stars among them until a tornado rips through their town. That's when they decide to have a talent show to raise money to rebuild. Now everyone is showing what they are made of: the good, the bad, and the bizarre. But the kids have to prove that their talent is worth the cost of admission if they're going to make enough to save the town!" [back cover]
