Do The Robot! is the best space fantasy for new book lovers who want to get into a fantasy with hints of sci-fi and smart tech savvy young kid Eudora. Also its for those kids who are into different functional creatures and sibling dynamics from the youngest child perspective. Not much changes for her with the exception of how she faces the minimal problems that are self-made. It was a fun story reading this book meant for children because a lot of it was already out there due to impulsive plans of a young human kid. I got a smile being able to read this being a huge fantasy and science fiction lover because it made everything from the inventions to varied species ,more simplistic in the best ways.
I had to prolong this book in the Eudora Space Kids book series due to a couple of major events and other books I had to finish before this one. So I'm glad to say I got to complete this very short book which otherwise would have taken me less than a hour this last weekend in May. It was so fun and lighthearted since everything that is done for this specific book was not a continuation of the sequel. I enjoyed how fun and natural the robot included this world and ship is with Eudora and her family, classmates, and leaders. It's comedic how the events unfold with Eudora along the way but also genuinely in her best efforts to resolve things with everyone is the best part.

This story is definitely the best easy to read sci-fi world I've read and definitely the best thing to finish off May with because required no pressure or had major points , which I love for the genre this is categorized as.

Eudora loves living on the Athena, an Astro-liner ship in space! Sure, sometimes she gets into trouble, like the time she told the ship robot officer Walter to run on stage and steal the show during her sister's lead part in the school play, but Eudora loves the Athena. Yet, when everyone else is busy, it can get a little boring sometimes for Eudora. One day, Eudora decides that she would like to play the game Woggle, but everyone Eudora asks says that they are busy! Luckily, someone suggests that Eudora ask Walter to play, and Walter is available. However, Eudora forgets one thing! Walter is a robot officer and is very good at games like Woggle. When Walter beats Eudora in the game, Eudora gets upset and throws a game piece at him! She doesn't mean for it to actually hit him, but it does and Walter starts to break. Eudora knows that she can't let anyone know she broke Walter or she will get into BIG trouble. But can she and her best friend Arnold somehow hide this from a ship full of very smart adults?
Opinion:
Overall, I loved reading this book. The story itself was very simple but funny, and the book was a very quick and entertaining read. I liked how we were able to see Eudora's character develop through her actions. We can first see her mischievous nature at the beginning of the story with the scene of her sister's play and then see how this shapes her actions in the rest of the story. This story took place in space, and the author did a great job of describing this setting by including details such as a space whale! The author also included unique characters in the story like different space aliens and robot-officers which made the story different than others I have read and more interesting. I enjoyed that the story was fast-paced and moved quickly with things happening in every chapter! Overall, I recommend this book to any reader looking for a fun book full of adventure and mischief!

This third instalment by David Horn features Eudora, a young girl who lives with her family on a spaceship, the AstroLiner Athena. She gets in trouble in a school performance by pulling a prank. Later, while playing Woggle, she accidentally breaks Walter, an expensive robot. Does she have what it takes to save the day and conceal the mistake from others, is what lingers on readers’ minds from the onset. She proves her smartness and sassiness to get out of trouble by using a gadget she invented to control Walter and make the situation under control. However, the presence of Qlaxons complicate things further as they do not see eye to eye. One feels remorse for Eudora given her predicament, yet her dream is to become an Engineer. Reprogramming the root to function correctly proves to be no easy feat.
While I have not read the other books in the series, I’m intrigued already with the novel. Credit to David Horn for this sci-fi masterclass that incorporates aliens. His character selection and how he creatively utilizes them in the plot is exquisite. One easily falls in love with Eudora who mesmerizes readers with her skills. What appears an adventure series for kids and adults also has some take home lessons; it is better to reveal your inner feelings than keep it a secret. The illustrations were top-notch by Judy Tondora who captures character’s emotions in their element.
Overall, the book is funny and easy to understand. Each scene is a beauty. Horn explains things plainly and kids will get entertained and educated. I feel the author would have made the solutions to some problems a bit of a puzzle rather than direct to engage the readers. Nonetheless, readers of all ages are in for a great animated story.

Oh no! Little ingenious Eudora couldn't handle her strong emotions and broke down the poor android Walter! Well-- not entirely, actually, because she could still remote control him like a toy. But as we grownups know, your bad deeds can't go without consequences, so our little heroine will have to face them all, but this time with a little more maturity.
I'm sure kids will enjoy this book and learn a lot from it (especially the power of apologizing -- for real!) but even adults like me who are enamored with Sci-Fi and... well, Star Trek, of course, in all its forms! Don't tell me that the Eudora series doesn't look and sound like a Star Trek series for kids ;)
5/5 stars for a well-written, engaging, page-turning novel that has plenty to tell to both kids and adults.
Plus points for diversity in adoption and family relationships! Very, very Trekkie. Now I look forward to reading the first two books in the series.

This is the second book I've read in the Eudora Space Kid series--though it's the third book in the series. I really enjoyed it and I think it was a wonderful addition to the series. Do the Robot! was silly and engaging with important lessons and a lot of STEM representation that is so important for kids to see.
I think kids and parents alike will have a lot of fun with this read. This series has done a really fantastic job of expanding its own universe and cast of characters to be found on the AstroLiner and I look forward to where Eudora will take us next! My only critique is that I wish the visuals given were in color--I think it would add a more dynamic sense to the story and I think kids would have more fun engaging with the illustrations.

"Do the Robot!" is the third installment in the ongoing book series Eudora Space Kids. I loved it as much as I loved the first two. This is the perfect book for children. It teaches them so many morals and other important values.
There are so few good children's books out there and this series is certainly one of the best. I do not have much to write about this since it is a book for children. But I will recommend it to everyone. I mean it is not bad to read a children's book here and there, this keeps the child in you alive.
Anyways, thank you to the author for writing such a great series full of morals and teachings.
Regards
Happy Reading

Having read this to my 8 year old cousin, I can confidently say that "Do the Robot! (Eudora Space Kid Book 3)" is a captivating story for younger schoolchildren. My cousin thoroughly enjoyed the world of AstroFleet, and found the characters and plot to be amusing and relatable. Author David Horn does a tremendous job of tailoring the story to young, up-and coming readers. Readers will brush up on their comprehension, while simultaneously enjoying a good story. Can not recommend this book enough! I will surely get Horn's other works to read with my cousin. He loves his style, as do I!

I really love these little stories for children of Trek fans (and for children who love Trek). I highly recommend them!
