Sometimes, being smart just isn’t enough

It’s been a rough semester for Howard Boward, science genius. Not only is he having to dodge winter’s most feared weapon (snowballs), his close friend, Winnie McKinney, is barely speaking to him. If that weren’t enough, he’s the favorite target of some bullies who seem determined to make life at Dolley Madison Middle School as miserable as possible. But then Howard learns about an upcoming robot-building contest—finally a chance to show off his science skills and beat archrival Gerald “G-Force” Forster! Unfortunately, the only way to win is by using his secret “monster goo,” a formula that has terrifying side effects. Can Howard resist the temptation? Or will he unleash a robot rampage that could destroy the town—and ruin the school dance?

This book is all about a middle schooler that gets teassed and he survied middle school and we don't know if he went to high scool

I have read all of the Middle School series books by James Patterson and they were amazing. I've learned from experience that middle school is a tough time. This book will give me another kid' s experience with middle school which I would love to read because everyone's middle school experience is different and for the most part funny. Middle school is just a wild place, not literally (OK sometimes), but mentally and emotionally. I've noticed that this kid has to deal with not only middle school, but monster bots too. I'd love to see how he tackles that...

I don't like it at all it seemed interesting but it is not what I expected at all i do not recommend at all sadly!

This book is very interesting and cool in some ways. It really helped me with me going into 6 th grade.

How to Survive Middle School and Monster Bots was a very entertaining book. This is a very unique book! This is a very funny book!

I liked how the main character emerged himself into science to deal with being bullied. I thought it was pretty funny what he wanted to do with the robot!

This book was not my type of book it was not fun and it was boring. this book was a bad book because it was not fun to read and not worth reading. That's way i gave it 2 stars
