There were a few weak spots where I felt like he was over-describing, but I think that’ll do a good job of introducing the subject material to younger students and people unaffiliated with code and technology. Dystopia is much harder to come by in middle-grade lit than young-adult lit, to the point where I wasn’t sure what it would even look like. Tom Angleberger did an amazing job of answering that question for me. There were a few different reasons for that, most notably because of the world-building and plot.įuzzy takes place in the near-future, and it almost has a dystopia-type feel. It’s enough that the rest of book is superb.ĭespite my pacing problems in the beginning, I quickly fell in love with Fuzzy. I wasn’t drawn in from the very first page, but maybe that’s too much to ask. The only thing I didn’t like about the story (and didn’t like is a strong phrase) is that it had a slow beginning. I’m not a Tom Angleberger fan, but that might just have to change if he continues to come out with books like Fuzzy!
Little do they know that surviving sixth grade is going to become a true matter of life and death, because Vanguard has an evil presence at its heart: a digital student evaluation system named BARBARA that might be taking its mission to shape the perfect student to extremes!
When Max-Maxine Zealster-befriends her new robot classmate Fuzzy, part of Vanguard One Middle School’s new Robot Integration Program, she helps him learn everything he needs to know about surviving middle school-the good, the bad, and the really, really, ugly.
