Book Description

March 1, 2007
What would you do if you could skip school, have someone else do your chores and not get caught? Finally, the day arrived. Mike and Jessie Normle have waited one year to get their kidbots: customized robots designed to fool their parents, trick their teachers, take over their chores, go to school, and even take the blame for them. This leaves Mike and Jessie with nothing to do all day but watch TV, play video games, and have fun. Everything seems to be going fine until...disaster strikes. The Kidbot Kaper is an imaginative journey where children struggle with honesty, the frustration of making mistakes, and the responsibility of independence.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Jeff Betman's storytelling is insightful, funny, delightful and poignant. He gives each of his characters a unique personality, with their own wisdom, quirkiness and sense of humor. Jeff Betman betrays student secrets when he introduces you to the antics of Jessie and Mike, siblings who are the first to receive kidbots...robotic clones...that were intended to make their lives easier. But be careful of the easy road. --Karen Lavens, Eton Academy, Birmingham, MI

About the Author

For 22 years Dr. Jeffrey Betman, a licensed psychologist, has brought his humor based therapy to patients in hospitals, clinics, medical centers, schools and his own private practice. In sessions, he often spends time on the floor with children in therapeutic play. Dr. Betman believes that children best learn lasting life lessons by example and by learning from mistakes. This very sentiment inspires him to find creative ways to problem solve, motivate, and teach while empowering children and their parents to move forward and enjoy life.
