* CharacterNarrator: The book is narrated from Sammy's perspective.
* {{Foodfight}}: E ends up starting one in chapter 8. He saw Bobby Hatfield throw a tangerine at Tom Heffernon during lunch in the school cafeteria, and came to the conclusion they were still in gym class. So, he ended up throwing potatoes at Bobby, which makes Tom think E threw the tangerine, and ended up getting pelted with food from both of them. Before long, the cafeteria turns into a war-zone.

Over time, however, after all the bugs are worked out, E soon proves to be a hit among the student body. People are actively hanging out with Sammy and his [=SBFF=] (Second Best Friend Forever) Harry Hunter Henderson, or Triple H, or just "Trip" as Sammy calls him. Of course, the local bully, Cooper Elliot, still refuses to like E.

Anyway, if that weren't enough, Sammy's mother has developed a brand new robot to add to their already massive robo-family. Simply called "E", Sammy's mother built him for a special secret purpose that she won't quite divulge. For testing purposes, she is having E accompany Sammy to school, much to his chagrin. No sooner does he show up at the bus stop than he starts doing all kinds of robotic things that end up embarrassing Sammy, like spouting out random factoids, interrupting teachers during their lessons, having a very literal grasp on words, and starting a food fight in the cafeteria.

Over time, however, after all the bugs are worked out, E soon proves to be a hit among the student body. People are actively hanging out with Sammy and his [=SBFF=] (Second Best Friend Forever) Harry Hunter Henderson, or Triple H, or just "Trip" as Sammy calls him.

The book was released on November 24th, 2014. The book has a sequel, ''House Of Robots: Robots Go Wild''.
