Publisher's Note
It's a matter of civic pride as Kinetic City High's all-girl engineer club goes up against its arch-rival, Blizzard Creek, in the national ``Robot Roundup.'' A call goes out to the Crew when sources reveal that Blizzard Creek's big, bad metal man makes the hometown entry look like a vacuum cleaner with arms. Can the Super Crew and top mind at M.I.T. come up with a better, big-time `bot, or will Kinetic City be snowed by Blizzard?

Kinetic City High's all-girl engineer club goes up against its arch-rival in the national "Robot Roundup". With the help of the top minds at M.I.T., the Super Crew comes up with a better, big-time robot.

Industry Reviews
Gr 4-7-The Kinetic City Super Crew is back, this time to help one of their own win the "Robot Roundup" competition. Marci is entering a small robot named Muggsy. The Blizzard Creek kids have created Crusher, a monster with mufflers for arms. When they send an intimidating video to Marci and her GEAR (Girl Engineers of Awesome Robots) after-school club, the Super Crew is called in to help the girls improve their robot. Traveling on their high-tech train, they go to the Amazon where their mentor, Dr. Alexander Graham Cracker, advises them. Then they zip on to the National Institute for Robotic Development for more information. The only suspense comes from the predictable unmasking of a saboteur on the GEAR team. The equally predictable ending demonstrates the lesson that size does not, in fact, matter. Characterization is minimal. The only distinguishable character is Dr. Cracker, who stands out because of his ridiculous name and stereotypical crazy-scientist demeanor. The plot is as familiar in its formula as a Saturday-morning cartoon. The attempt to teach science principles within the framework of a fantasy adventure causes the action to stumble to a complete halt. While this book may hold some appeal for the "Animorphs" (Scholastic) set, children interested in robotics would be better served by one of the many nonfiction titles available on the subject.-Tim Wadham, Dallas Public Library, TX
