Together, Max and Fuzzy reveal the super-secret, nefarious purpose behind the Robot Integration Program. They must fight to save the school before it s too late. Fuzzy is one girl s quest to befriend a robot, survive middle school, and save the world.

**STARRED REVIEW**
"Origami Yoda creator Angleberger teams up with science-fiction writer Dellinger for this funny, thrilling, and thought-provoking page-turner...the duo have crafted a day-after-tomorrow cautionary tale of friendship with a fuzzy, robotic heart...a winner."--Kirkus
"An absorbing, fast-paced read and an excellent choice for middle schoolers."--School Library Journal
"A tech-infused wild ride, with some suspenseful moments and brilliant twists--an ideal book for reluctant readers, young science fans and really anyone who wishes their best friend were a robot."--Bookpage
"Coauthors Tom Angleberger and Paul Dellinger weave computer concepts into the action, using snippets of programming code to show Fuzzy's perspective. ...The use of code as a storytelling device is funny, and cleverly illustrates the way a young mind processes the overwhelming input of a typical day in middle school."--Shelf Awareness
"Angleberger and Dellinger hit the perfect mix of funny and contemplative, speculative and realistic."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
