So what story does "The Secret of the Working Machine" tell, and why can it win the favor of children across the country?
"The Secret of the Work Machine" tells the story of four fifth-graders who revolve around the work machine. The four children represent the four types of students that are common in school life: the gifted student Brenton, the excellent student Judy, the unconventional Kelsey, and the "scumbag" Sam.
Brenton invented the work machine. Without the worry of homework, the four of them really had a relaxing time. Soon, however, in order to keep the secrets of the work machine, their lives are in a state of tension, suspicious of being stalked at every turn, and their grades in class tests plummeted because they did not do their homework. To make matters worse, the machine gets out of control, and it's like a robot that evolves automatically, freed from human control. How do they get rid of the machine?
The work machine, which they regarded as an "artifact" and "treasure" at the beginning, eventually became their nightmare, is this not worth the loss? The four children who have gone through all this finally understand that the work machine is just opportunistic, and there is no shortcut to learning Xi.
The author of "The Secret of the Job Machine" is Dan Gutman, a well-known American children's author and a bestselling author of the New York Times. His books are loved by children and have won 19 state book awards to date.
