Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a machine that does everything for you? Well, the folks on Planet Quirk have just such a machine.  It cooks their meals, mows their lawns, colors their coloring books and even scratches their backs! Everyone stays in bed all day. Life is good. But one day, the Everything Machine breaks and can’t be fixed for months. What will become of the Quirks? How will they eat? How will anything get done? They don’t know how to do anything on their own! The Quirks are forced to do their chores but with surprising results. The colorful comic panels and funny word bubbles will keep you smiling.  (Pennsylvania Young Reader’s Choice Awards Program Booktalks 2012-2013)
