Chip didn't think anything could be worse than almost failing the fifth grade -- until his new brother, Simon, arrived. Simon is the latest in robotic technology. He's ten times better than a human boy. Dad hopes Simon will set a good example for Chip. Instead, Chip feels like Simon is taking his place -- at school, on the swim team, even in his parents' hearts.Included in Juvenile 10.An accelerated Reader? Title
I read this book last night. I was looking for a gift for Christmas for the son of a friend. This book is perfect. Humor, wisdom, and a great resolution to a problem many young boys face - the ambiguity of how much their success translates into approval by their parents.
the perfect brother???

Bonny Becker has crafted a cool, funny story. Everyone who has ever hated a brother or sister (for at least ten minutes) should read this book. Everyone who has ever wanted to be perfect should read it. PARENTS should read it, too--especially parents who think they want perfect children. This book is a lot of fun, very real and leaves you feeling good about yourself. What a great story! Highly recommended.
