About this book

Dan Gutman's My Weird School meets James Patterson's House of Robots in the adventures of Geeger, a robot who loses his class pet, in the second story in a fun-to-read Aladdin QUIX chapter book series that's perfect for emerging readers! Geeger the Robot gets along great with the class pet, Fudge the Hamster—they both spend a lot of their time eating and share a love for mushy bananas. But when Fudge goes missing, some of the kids in Ms. Bork's class think Geeger might be to blame! Could Geeger have eaten Fudge?! He certainly wouldn't have done so on purpose. But Geeger has been known to eat things by accident before. With the help of his best friend Tillie, Geeger puts his strengths to use to find Fudge and clear his name!

Meet Geeger

Geeger is a robot. A very, very hungry robot.
Geeger was constructed in a laboratory by a team of scientists. Then he was sent to a town called Amblerville. There, Geeger eats all the food that the rest of the townspeople don’t want.
Rotten eggs, moldy bread, mushy fruit—you name it!
Geeger has a brain, just like you. The only difference is that Geeger’s brain is made up of wires. Your brain, meanwhile, is made up of… well, gooey brain stuff.
Most of the time, Geeger’s brain tells him to do just one thing:
EAT! EAT! EAT! EAT! EAT!
Image
At the end of every day, Geeger plugs himself into his DIGEST-O-TRON 5000. The machine sucks up all the food that Geeger has eaten and turns it into electricity. The electricity then helps power the town!
Now and again, Geeger gets confused and eats things he’s not supposed to.
Like forks.
And batteries.
And toaster ovens.
When Geeger does that, the DIGEST-O-TRON lets him know. The machine’s lights flash. Its sirens scream. WEE-oOoOo! WEE-oOoOo! WEE-oOoOo!
Not too long ago, Geeger started something very new. He enrolled in school!
Geeger has now been going to Amblerville Elementary School for two whole weeks. That’s not very long—but Geeger has already learned LOTS.
For instance:
Geeger has learned that Amblerville is a town on the planet Earth, and that Earth spins in circles around the sun.
He’s also learned that the sun and Earth are part of a galaxy, and that that galaxy is called the Milky Way—but not because there’s any actual milk in it.
One other thing that Geeger has learned:
It’s not just kids and teachers (and one robot!) who spend their days at Amblerville Elementary School. There are animals, too!
Like Fudge the Hamster, Ms. Bork’s class pet.
Geeger is a BIG fan of Fudge. The hamster is cute. And fuzzy. And cuddly. And sometimes, he climbs up Geeger’s arm and onto the top of the robot’s head. There, the little guy runs laps around Geeger’s light bulb. The hamster’s tiny, fast-moving feet always make Geeger’s wires tingle with delight.
Image
Also, Fudge has great taste in food. His favorite thing to eat is old, brown, mushy bananas. And Geeger loves old, brown, mushy bananas too!
Something else that Geeger has learned is that being a student requires LOTS and LOTS (and LOTS!) of energy. Which means it’s more important than ever that Geeger starts his day off right with a good breakfast.
And so Geeger screws a brand-new light bulb into the top of his head and makes his way to the kitchen.

Breakfast Time

Geeger goes bonkers as soon as he enters the kitchen. He sees all the buckets and barrels and cartons and containers of spoiled and rotten and stale and expired food gathered there.
EAT! EAT! EAT! EAT! HURRY UP AND EAT! his brain tells him.
Image
So Geeger eats!
First he has:
  • three boxes of crackers (stale)
  • six avocados (rotten)
  • and
  • two and a half pounds of sliced Swiss cheese (moldy)
ā€œECK-sep-TION-AL,ā€ Geeger says, slinging the last slice of cheese into his stomach. That’s Robot for ā€œexceptional,ā€ which means: yum!
But Geeger is still hungry.
So he eats a little more:
  • 15 pancakes (slightly moldy)
  • nine apples (soft and mealy)
  • and
  • 11 eggs (rotten and STINKY)
Image
ā€œECK-squiz-IT,ā€ Geeger says, cracking the last of the nasty eggs and dumping it into his guts. That’s Robot for ā€œexquisite,ā€ which means: super yummy!
But Geeger is still hungry.
So he eats A LOT more:
  • four grapefruits (mold...
