The Substitute Kid review by TKono

TKono

Joseph Smith's "The Substitute Kid" is a short children's book. It follows the month of a fourth grade girl yearning for summer vacation with her best friend. Cute little shenanigans are sprinkled across the pages as sibling rivalry comes into play. Also, the main girl discovers that her father--who is a science professor--has made a life-like robotic replica of her. The girl then uses this robot to act as herself and literally as a substitute for her. The robot takes a history test for the girl and earns an A.
