How to Survive Middle School and Monster Bots (A Howard Boward Book)
By Ron Bates
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?

I like this book because it wasn't really a guide, but in a way it was. I only gave it 4 stars because the beginning didn't make that much sense.
This looks like an awesome book!
Howard is what one may call a genius. When it comes to science - that is. But when faced with friendship troubles and school dances he is not as comfortable. So in order to win back his friends and gain some attention, Howard enters a robot making contest, which has some strange materials that could ruin the boy's plans.
If you were a person who has been to middle school you will kind of get what this book means. When I first saw this book's cover I didn't think it was a good book but I should've never judged the book by it's cover.
This book is awesome! Howard Boward is a science genius who hasn't had a good semester. His best friend, Winnie McKinney, isn't really speaking to him. Then Howard learns about an upcoming robot-building contest—finally a chance to show off his science skills and beat his enemy Gerald “G-Force” Forster. I won't give away any more spoilers... it is a good book!
