House of Robots by James Patterson and Chris Grabenstein illustrated by Juliana Neufeld*

Sammy's parents are unique-mom's a robot inventor; dad's a ninja comic creator.  His sister has an immune disorder and is home schooled by a robot.
The house is full of robots performing various jobs.  Then Sammy's mom designs one to attend school with him.  The first day with "E" the robot does not go well and does not help Sammy's already unpopular reputation.
I really like how Sammy is loyal to his sister.  In fact, she is his best friend!  Also, Sammy's parents seem to have a solid relationship.  Refreshing!
Points to discuss: bullies; word "dumb" is used often in the beginning of the story
*Highly recommend.
