Genius children meet one another on a deserted island when their scientist-parents team up to design an artificial intelligence. Bored and rebellious, the children decide to devise their own A. I. system despite the constant distraction of various saboteurs and assorted spies.

When I was eight, I read Operation Sherlock to pieces. Genius children! Who design robots and drive dune buggies and foil dastardly plots! It was like a book made to order for eight-year-old me. A decade and a half later, its thrills have not diminished.

Wendy Wendell opened her right eye and glared at the toys. "Lemme sleep."

"Let us up! Let us up!"

"Chips!" exclaimed Wendy, pushing herself to her elbow. "What did I do to deserve this?"

The toys responded, as they had been programmed to: "Life is rough, Captain Wendy."

"And then you die," added Baby Pee Pants in her deep voice.

"Right. Rolling onto her side, Wendy pulled the sheets over her head.

"Let us up! Let us up!"

With a sigh Wendy reached down and scooped the toys onto her bed. This cued them to give her five minutes of silence.

When the time was up, the bear began to sing.

This is one of Bruce Coville's least well-known books, yet it's one of his best. It's not the typical alien or monster you usually see from Coville. However, he's able to maintain his mastery of character development in this realistic fiction mystery. I love it. ( )
