Subject(s): Genre/Form: Summary: "Anyone would love having the super-scoring robot Java on his soccer team. Well anyone except Java's human cousin, Logan. That's because, up until now, Logan has been the Wombat's top scorer--and he has no desire to share the field with the team's new star player. Especially because Java won't let the other kids get near the ball--never mind score any goals. If it were up to Logan, he would just kick Java right off the field. Because as far as Logan is concerned, there's no "I" in team, and there shouldn't be a droid on one either"--Jacket.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

When Mom tells Logan that Java is joining his soccer team, the Purple Wombats, he's not thrilled. It's a lot of work teaching his new robot cousin how to act like a human--and keeping him out of trouble--and Logan needs a break.

Still, being programmed for success means that Java's also great at scoring. He might just turn the Wombats into a championship team, beating Sherry and Jerry Silverspoon and their Red Polar Bears . . . if he'd just let the other kids play, too. After being replaced as the Wombats' MVP, Logan's had enough.

But when Java gets wet and goes on the fritz, can the whole team--even a short-circuiting Java--come together to score the winning goal?

The second in a fantastically funny new chapter book series by internationally bestselling author Nancy Krulik and her daughter, Amanda Burwasser, Soccer Shocker is destined to win tons of fans.
