Because the machine, code named Belch, is doing their homework for them, they start spending a lot of time together, attracting a lot of attention. And attention is exactly what you don't want when you are keeping a secret.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Before long, members of the D Squad, as they are called at school are getting strange Instant Messages from a shady guy named Milner; their teacher, Miss Rasmussen, is calling private meetings with each of them and giving them pop tests that they are failing; and someone has leaked the possibility of a homework machine to the school newspaper. Just when the D Squad thinks things can't get any more out of control, Belch becomes much more powerful than they ever imagined. Soon the kids are in a race against their own creation, and the loser could end up in jail...or worse!","brand":"Simon and Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42826520526928,"sku":"9780689876783B","price":11.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780689876783-l.jpg?v=1785906305","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-homework-machine-9780689876783b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
