    Danny uses a computer that Professor Bulfinch has created for NASA to prepare his homework, despite Professor Bullfinch's warning that Danny is to leave the machine alone. With his friend Joe Pearson and his new neighbor, Irene Miller, Danny has some success with the machine before it is sabotaged. Can Danny figure out what is wrong with the computer and fix it? And will their teacher learn what's really going on with homework?

      Written in the 1950s, this is set in the early age of computers. I enjoyed to "blast from the past", watching people explain and interact with this new technology. The female character, Irene, is delightful - strong without being dominating, smart without being pushy and feminine without being girly. The story features real science, explained using science vocabulary and concepts. I highly recommend to read to kids - learn some science and giggle over the archaic language!

      This book came out in 1958 but I still fondly remember my introduction to computers through it's pages when I was in first grade back in 1963 and I dreamed of actually owning my own computer. It wasn't to happen for 17 more years before I was the proud owner of an Atari 400. But I think the day that I brought that home I was still thinking about the fun Danny, Joe and Irene had with Miniac.
