Description
It's time for Austin Davenport and his mayhem crew to grow up and take on some responsibility. Enter the Babybot 2000! This expertly-crafted, patent-pending, amazingly life-like infant robot can ruin your life for only $499 or three payments of blood, sweat, and tears. Lots of tears. Like more than you could possibly ever imagine. Both from the demon bot itself and its caregiver. Not sold just yet? Wait, there's more! Do you fall asleep too early? The Babybot 2000 will keep you up all night! Does your life lack excitement? This modern marvel does nothing the way it's designed to do, and just like a real baby, there's no users' guide, so your life will be an adventure! We guarantee it will drive you crazy, just like an infant would in real life! And you don't even have to pay for it to go to college. In Education: Domestication, Cherry Avenue Middle School goes baby crazy when the entire eighth grade is paired up in health class and given their own bouncing bundles of bot to love and care for. But things don't go quite as expected. I know, what else is new with this crew? The students get more than they bargained for and that's before they're told of the Baby Bonanza, a competition to put their domestic skills to the test. Will the Babybot make a mess of Austin and Sophie's relationship? Or just everywhere else? Has Randy cracked the Babybot code or is he cheating yet again? Will astronauts circling the earth hear the incessant cries of the Babybots from space? Join Austin and the rest of Nerd Nation as Cherry Avenue Middle School attempts to domesticate the wild, adolescent herd known as the eighth grade. Be forewarned. It's definitely a jungle in there!
