About this ebook
Still, being programmed for success means that Java’s also great at scoring. He might just turn the Wombats into a championship team, beating Sherry and Jerry Silverspoon and their Red Polar Bears . . . if he’d just let the other kids play, too. After being replaced as the Wombats’ MVP, Logan’s had enough.
But when Java gets wet and goes on the fritz, can the whole teameven a short-circuiting Javacome together to score the winning goal?

Bran-Tastic
Mom!
I shouted. Where are the Sugar-Blasted Bubblegum Crispies?
We’re all out of Bubblegum Crispies,
Mom called back from her lab in the garage. Just pour yourself a bowl of my Fun-with-Fiber Flakes.
Fiber is healthy for humans,
my cousin, Java, said. He was sitting at the kitchen table, speed-clipping coupons for my mom.
Fiber Flakes might be healthy. But they tasted like soggy cardboard. Not that Java would know. Java doesn’t eat breakfast.
Java doesn’t eat at all.
He doesn’t need to. He’s an android.
My mom is a scientist. She likes to build things. So she built me a robot cousin.
His name is Jacob Alexander Victor Applebaum.
I just call him Java.
Sometimes it’s cool having a robot by my side. But other times it can be a real pain.
The hardest part about having Java in the family is I can’t tell anyone he isn’t human. That’s because he’s part of my mom’s secret project: Project Droid.
But keeping Java’s secret isn’t easy. Especially because he doesn’t always act like a normal kid.
I hate Fiber Flakes,
I called to Mom. Isn’t there anything sweet I can have for breakfast?
Add some dried fruit,
she suggested.
Dried fruit makes me have to go to the bathroom,
I argued.
Logan, I’m busy,
my mother called from the lab. Just add some dates and nuts to your cereal and eat.
Suddenly Java leaped up from his seat.
"I can do it!" he shouted. He picked up the scissors he’d been using to clip the coupons and began cutting up the calendar on the wall.
What are you doing?
I asked him.
Getting dates for your cereal,
Java said. Here’s November 17.
He dropped the calendar dates into my cereal bowl.
That’s what I mean about Java not acting like a normal kid.
I looked down at the paper in my bowl. I’ll have toast,
I said.
Just then, Mom walked into the kitchen. At least I think it was my mom. It was hard to tell under the helmet and safety glasses.
Better hurry,
Mom said. She dropped her tool
