Summary

A boy and his robot take to the stage in the series that’s “fast-paced and full of Amelia Bedelia–style gags” from the New York Times–bestselling author (School Library Journal). 
 
Logan auditions for the school play and is chosen for the role of Chipmunk Number Three, but unfortunately, Java, Logan’s robot cousin, doesn’t get a part, which means he and Logan won’t be hanging out together every day after school. Logan’s excited to have something to himself and starts spending more and more time with his new friends. 
 
Now with so much time on his hands, Java is determined to make some new friends, too—the dishwasher, the electric mixer, the refrigerator . . . But his favorite new friend is Spike, the voice activated program on Mrs. Applebaum’s cell phone.  
 
While Java can’t be in the play, he ends up helping out with building the sets, and almost blows his cover! But when Logan freezes and forgets his lines on stage, and Java (who has memorized them in an instant) feeds them to him the Cyrano-style, it’s the android who saves the day. After all, that’s what friends are for. 
 
Internationally bestselling author Nancy Krulik and her incredibly talented daughter, Amanda Burwasser, spin hilarious high jinks in the fourth book in the Project Droid series, which combines the literalness of Amelia Bedelia with a wacky modern edge, making for hours of laughter. And the fun continues with an activity in the back!

    An easy-to-understand adaptation of Paine’s revolutionary pamphlet, plus insights on colonial history, life, and culture. 
 
The Declaration of Independence may have severed political bonds with England, but it was Thomas Paine’s dynamic pamphlet, “Common Sense,” that conceptualized the idea of unity and freedom months before Thomas Jefferson put pen to parchment. Paine’s publication energized colonists to embark on a long and bloody war that imperiled their livelihoods and dismantled their cultural identity—all in the hope of creating a new nation constructed upon the concepts of liberty and independence. 
 
Although many know of Tom Paine and his famous “Common Sense,” the historic pamphlet has not been readily accessible or widely read. But it needs to be, because it is one of our nation’s most important founding documents. Now, fifth-grade history teacher Mark Wilensky rectifies this oversight with The Elementary Common Sense of Thomas Paine: An Interactive Adaptation for All Ages. This remarkable interactive version is adapted for young and old alike and makes Paine's words and the concepts he espoused widely available to everyone. 
 
This book offers a rich array of colonial history sprinkled with audio, video, and text graphics linked to a dynamic online website. This adaptation includes the original “Common Sense,” a new adapted version in plain language everyone can understand today, an extensive chronology of important pre-revolutionary events leading up to the publication of Paine’s pamphlet, and adapted versions of the Olive Branch Petition, A Proclamation For Suppressing Rebellion And Sedition, and the Boston Port Act. Wilensky also includes a wide variety of insights on colonial coins and mercantilism, and many humorous illustrations designed to convey the important concepts of independence and liberty. 
 
Instructors and parents will especially appreciate Wilensky's decision to include supplementary materials such as teaching plans for classroom and home-schooling use. These include a wide variety of activities to engage students, all based on National Curriculum Standards. 
 
Colonial America was a continent with multiple cultures and customs spanning vast geographic distances. Tom Paine's amazing persuasive essay “Common Sense” unified these seemingly conflicting characteristics into the most remarkable nation ever founded in the history of mankind. The Elementary Common Sense of Thomas Paine will reignite the ardor of our Founding Fathers for a new generation.
