I always love books by Dan Gutman and one of my favorites is The Home Work Machine. I recommend this book to people of all ages because it is a fun book with twist in it so that makes you keep reading.
It tells a story about a fifth-grader Brenton is a computer genius, but the other three members of his work group think he's a nerd. So, when he tells them that he has invented a machine that does homework, they taunt him until he agrees to demonstrate. The machine actually works, and Kelsey, Sam, and Judy convince him to let them use it.
The story is told entirely through short excerpts from police interviews which I find cool because it is something different and you really get an opinion from every character which make you understand the characters more. These interviews shows the developing relationships through the characters' own observations. There are also touches of humor in the way the four classmates talk about themselves and one another. "A dramatic and thought-provoking story with a strong message about honesty and friendship."
