Picked this up because Williams' Petronella was pretty darn nifty, and, um. This was surreal in all sorts of ways, but had some of the same elements that made Petronella nifty. Not something I'd read for pleasure, but as a curious once-through, a good distraction.

This came into my sphere of reading when I was about 10-12 years old, and I remember really enjoying it. The thought of using a computer to help with my homework was really attractive, even though I recognized even then that progrmming it would take far more work than just doing the homework myself. Still, it was an enticing thought, and appealed to my (very) juvenile imagination.

I loved Danny Dunn books when I was young. I just read this one to my three youngest and it was a hit! They kept begging for one more chapter every time I read. I'm not sure how much of the science they got, but they sure loved it when Irene pushed Snitcher in the mud puddle! :-)
