Comment Danny Dunn and the Homework Machine (Score 1) 623
"Why", not "how". I read this in 3rd grade, probably around 1967 or '68? Piqued my interest in computers that lasted and that I finally got to explore senior year in high school. One thing I /think/ recall from the plot is suspicion that Danny was cheating by using the computer, but it turns out he needed to undestand the problems & the solutions better than the other kids in class in order to be able to do the programming. http://www.scholastic.com/browse/book.jsp?id=854
