Love your digital circus shirt 😂
I want a movie!!!
From the author of The Kid who ran for President, The Million Dollar Shot, and The Baseball card Adventure series.
I have a book option
Letters from camp I loved it
I read it 3 different times
I have to get this.
Fun fact everyone! The guy who wrote the homework machine is also the author of the my weird school series, which surprisingly is still going strong.
ARE YOU FR?!? She should cover that book series next!!! It's so batshit insane it feels so perfect for this channel. Also shoutout to The Genius Files (Dan Gutman also wrote that series and it absolutely carried my elementary school years)
It's My Weirder School now, I think
@@caitlinabbott7895I think it's Weirdest, AJ is in high school (or college?)
I looked it up, the newest series is apparently called My Weirdtastic School lol
@@jordy9606 I haven't read it for a while lol
You know, this book was made in 2007. They could've just looked up answers on the internet like normal people (maybe the grand canyon blocks wi fi signals idk).
Hahaha the Grand Canyon making it impossible to cheat normally is my favorite theory
But is it set in 2007...?
@@brokenpayphone The sequel does mention the internet a few times so its a pretty safe bet (besides its rare for kids books to not be set in current day)
Yeah but the machine does all the looking up and writing down for them, so they can go do other things.
maybe the wifi at the grand canyon is bad
This book is so 2000s coded. War, bellybutton piercings, Bill Gates? It's all there
I know it was a throw away line, but kids who skip grades into high school when they’re elementary age gets them bullied to hell and back, so schools actually don’t like to recommend it. Source: happened to my uncle and the school (and my ma) didn’t want to bump me a couple grades cause they’d seen how bad it gets.
I didn’t even think about that omg that’s so sad!!!! What kind of asshole would bully someone like half their age 😒
@@AthenaPOfficial Seriously!! It was like Hollywood ‘put the small kid in the trash can’ type stuff. I’m sure the bullies felt very big and powerful 😒 It really messed my uncle up. Thankfully he’s doing good now though and that’s what matters most
Its a problem for early Sept. Babies too.
My dads bday was on sept 1st, and the earliest you can enroll at the time was 4. So my grandma put my just-turned-4-a-week-ago father into school with about-to-turn-5-this-year students. So he was ways the youngest and smallest growing up (though the smartest.)
I can't lie, I see the toll it took on him.
@@Adamant_Adamman i was born in OCTOBER and I still got put in the with other 5 year olds, ended up being youngest in my grade until i started high school,,, idk how i never got bullied. (or maybe i did but didn’t realize, i was a pretty oblivious child)
It’s also just super uncommon now cuz most kids are only able to skip grades for specific subjects (like they’re excellent at math but just slightly better than peers at English) so many schools would rather just let a fourth grader take fifth grade math then stay at grade level for the stuff they can stay at grade level for. It’s very rare that a kid can fully skip subjects for every single class for multiple years ahead. They just don’t do that anymore especially for middle and high schoolers. Elementary school is most likely to skip a grade and there’s heavy pros and cons for skipping or staying at grade level.
What I remember strongly is that Sam ends up not going to school for a while in the first book, because it's revealed that his dad and two others were killed. He doesn't move the chess board any because it was his dad's turn, and it's what he has to remember him by
Damn…
Oh my,,,,,,,,
Awww
same actually, I can’t remember if it was because of the Homework Machine or the fact his dad was in the military (probably that, the first option is too dark even for this book), but it stuck in my head for a long time
I appreciate it honestly, it’s depressing but very well done.
Would you ever consider doing Bunnicula? It's both a cute book about a cat who learned to write and a bonkers book about a vampire bunny.
might be a bit too recent for athenacore
@@brokenpayphone Wait are you being sarcastic? Cause the first book was written in the 70s
omg i was OBSESSED with bunnicula. she should totally make a bunnicula video
& one of the books scared me so bad I couldn’t sleep! It was the one where they went to a pet hotel and there was a “ghost” that I think turned out to be another pet doing ventriloquism??
There is also a cartoon I found on Prime video, it's super cute
My head canon is that the detective is really into the hot goss and always likes to learn the tea during interrogations.
I'm just imagining Athena as the police officer's partner, commenting on all the insane stuff as the officer just doesn't bat an eye.
The idea of a kid creating a fake cult is wild
Private Discord Servers:
You're right. They should start a real one.
I apologize to all people who are named Brenton
Nah if your name is Brenton deserve what’s coming to you 😂
MY NAME IS BRENTON!!!! WHY WONT YOU CALL BE BRENTON!!!! (Sorry this reminded me of dhmis)
@@thefakepersonthatisntreal Dhmis?
@@ChappellRoanFan Don’t hug me I’m scared, unemployed Brendon from the new TV series.
one letter away from benton (from November 9 by Colleen Hoover)
I genuinely started laughing so hard I had a coughing fit at the Ten Homework Commandaments LOL
My teacher did that too
Wearing The Amazing Digital Circus merch for this book is perfect and I love it
I remember there was a Shel Silverstein poem called the Homework Machine and that’s what I thought of when I saw the title
A 24 minute video covering a single poem would’ve been SUCH A POWER MOVE
@@AthenaPOfficialYeah, honestly...
Same here
If I remember right, the punchline of the poem was that the machine gives incorrect answers, like 2+2=5
I was confused when I saw the book and I was like “is that the book adaption”
"i saw the cover and realized I read the crap out of this thing! No idea what it's about." That is exactly why i clicked this video, you are so self aware it's impressive
Honestly the homework machine cast lends itself to be really interesting if they showed where they were later in life. Especially red pill Sam kid
Adoring today's makeup! I wish I had read more books like this when I was a kid, they always seem to have such interesting plots.
Dan Gutman also wrote the My Weird School series which I think deserves its own video
And The kid who ran for President, The Million Dollar Shot, and Baseball card adventures.
I don’t think the interrogators are asking these specific questions (who is dating and such) I think the kids are just info dumping because they’re 11 years old
3 things that suggest otherwise. The teacher would get in on it too. And also they were interrogated separately and talked about the same random things. And lastly Kelsey a handful of times would be like “I thought you wanted to know about THIS” implying whoever was talking with her got her off track
Man, Dan Gutman really just had our backs for a good chunk of our childhood reading, huh?
What a silly idea that a 10 year old kid in the early 00s would have the programming skills and computing power to make a real sci-fi style AI (i don't think it is supposed to be a large language model).
Wow the muscial at the end😂
Now we need The Magic Treehouse
I wish to believe this franchise is a prequel to I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream and you cant prove me wrong.
The weirdest book I read as a child was 'The View from Saturday,' I don't know if you're familiar with it but I remember it being a challenge to follow. To be honest, as an aroace, I think I'd enjoy a lot of these types of realistic fiction kids' books as an adult because they rarely focus on romance as a plot point which I enjoy. I have so many book recommendations in the same vein (the Wayside School series tripped me the fuck out in third grade) but I don't want to take up too much of your time lol
Best song ever
I wanna see Athena do a video on Ron Roy's "The A-Z Mysteries"......
Oh shit, my grandma bought me The View From Saturday. She read it and loved it but I couldn't get through it, I found it really boring. I loved Wayside though, I read those books aloud when I babysit!
@@limelantern5637 i remember liking some of it and finding some of it kind of unnecessary.
HELP I JUST COMMENTED ABOUT THIS AND WAS LIKE 60% SURE I WAS JUST MAKING IT UP
Honestly, this book just wouldn't hit as hard today with chatGPT that can and literally does your homework for you, with explanations along the way. The concept of a homework machine just isn't novel anymore. I don't know if that's good or not.
Mad respect for that Digital Circus merch!
This is like the best job in the world. Taking things way to serious that people are too afraid to in front of their friends lol
Loving all these school book reviews, have you ever heard of Sideways Stories From Wayside School? Those books absolutely traumatized me as a kid, but it seemed like every teacher from first to fourth grade had at least one of them despite how unhinged they were. And when I say unhinged I mean an evil teacher turning kids into apples (who then didn't return home and worried their parents, but i remember the adults not being as concerend as they should have been lmao) and then getting turned into an apple herself and being eaten by the schools hall monitor/janitor/matinence guy. There's 30 chapters in the first book, that is the first chapter. It only gets weirder. The second book was actually banned in a few places for "undermining kids value systems and teaching them to disrespect teachers and property"
I definitely remember reading the first book! Chucking a powerful computer into the Grand Canyon (what an impressive hole!) is something that just kind of sticks with you even if you don’t remember anything else.
That second book I may have read once but I honestly have no recollection about it and you don’t make it sound like I’m missing out on anything worthwhile. Absolutely loved the song and the makeup!
I won’t lie. If my 12 yo found one of your videos, I wouldn’t stop her from watching them. These are awesome and I’m positive she hears worse at her grandparents house.
For real
Now why was that song such a banger 💀
Thank you 🥲👏👏 (it sounds bigheaded but it’s been stuck in my head since I made it hahaha)
I'm suddenly reminded of The Plant That Ate Dirty Socks and the need to re-read that series.
This is my favorite channel for bringing up childhood memories. And then looking at them as an adult.
My third grade teacher had the same name as a teacher in this book, and I’m surprised she never read this to us.
Athena gives very strong "cool elementary school teacher who students constantly refererence in award speeches" vibes.
10:14 the name “Dan Gutman” gave me the biggest hit of nostalgia and immediately sent me back to the days of reading the “my weird school” series (which has at least 2 sequel series last I checked, and a couple of specials)
Still remember that time A.J. wrote a chapter for kids who were told they needed to read a chapter of a book before they could go play, and the chapter was one page long.
Aj was so real
Girl you NEED to cover the Origami Yoda series! 😭
Those books were my childhood and I’ve only recently realized how absurd those books are.
maybe its bc im high and can only focus on one thing, but i love how sparkly your eyeshadow is. it looks so good. i have hooded eyes so i could never.
DIGITAL CIRCUS MERCH?!? ATHENA!!!!
"In all my years of being a cop, I've never seen a canyon look more like a giant hole"
Is no one going to talk about her cute as hell Digital Circus shirt? ❤
Hi Athena, I was wondering if you maybe wanted to deep dive into No Passengers beyond this point for another Book Report episode’!
See it was this weird book I read during elementary and it was about these three kids who had to move to their uncles house in Colorado but on the plane there they land in this strange place called Falling Bird
They have a certain among of time to escape Falling bird before they become citizens and have to stay forever
It’s full of fun and other absurd moments that would be perfect and it would be so cool to see your spin on it!
Great upload as always! Unlocked my own homework machine nostalgia I didn’t remember I had as well 0-0
You should read Surviving the Applewhites. I remember loving this book and the second one in elementary school.
I PAID $12 FOR THIS BOOK AT A BOOKFAIR AND I HAVEN’T THOUGHT ABOUT IT IN YEARS
Amazing as always !! I love your content Athena :3
I would love to see you cover the Phantom Tollbooth!! Although I know you haven't done something so old before. I think it's a childhood staple tho so lots of millennials will still have nostalgia for it.
My Gosh do I love your book report videos. Something about seeing a funny theatrical individual going crazy over the plots of absurd books really make my day HAHA !! I was absolutely dying throughout this, like loud af bursts of pure laughter XDDD !! The jokes and puns top tier as ALWAYS-the acronym jokes for example oml-and the song at the end was a bop, I especially enjoyed the second half! This is Frindle on crack LMAOOO Definitely gonna be rewatching this one a lot 😂❣I would love to see you do more insane school books like Wayside school or smth :3c Either way! LOVE the vid, thank you for the laughs and all the work you put in Athena !!!
Thank you!!! Omg this is so sweet and means a lot to me 🥲
@@AthenaPOfficial Of course AA !!!!! Aw I'm so glad
8:31 Brenton discovers the original 1972 definition of memes, not colorized
I love the bad romance novels, so if you keep uploading those, I will watch
Edit: I just realized that this child literally just made Chat GPT if you think about how that's the number one AI mentioned in cheating with homework and essays.
You should look into the invisible inc books! I don't remember anything about them or if they're even good, but they rewrote my entire brain to the point where I could no longer normal about mystery stories, so there might be something to them
2:43 does anyone noticed that she has an amazing digital circus T-shirt😊
As a fellow theatre kid who never grew out of it, I got so hyped when you broke out into Hamilton.
I wish I could read, at least I can learn about books through the great(?) ones that Athena speaks about
this unlocked an elementary school core memory
Oh my gosh the core memories this unlocked thank you Athena for always reminding me of my lost childhood memories
having a kid as young as brenton in a highschool wouldn't be great for his (already poor) social skills and likely his physical health (highschoolers aren't nice either)
As a high schooler, yeah. Even if the High schoolers are nice they’re likely not going to consistently talk or hang out with a ten year old outside of school.
Anyone else noticed Athena was wearing an Amazing Digital Circus t-shirt? Athena’s got good taste 😁
…OH MY GOD I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THIS THANK YOU!! I READ THIS AS A KID…
Also Day 2 of recommending The Electric Company as a show you should do. I have a really vivid memory of one scene where they jump over words, like long jump. One of them is ruler and the other was the super-long word for volcanic ash disease (pseunovolconai’mtoolazytospellitout) and it just seemed so weird which you do really well-
THANKS FOR MORE CONTENTTTT
For as long as i can remember ive read books by simultaneously envisioning them as a movie. When i read this in middle school detention tho it was all dialogue so the movie i imagined was just two hours of kids being filmed talking to the camera. Great book.
Please please PLEASE do a deep dive on the My Weird/Weirder/Weirdest School series. They’re made by the same author and they were a GODSEND for me when I was in 2nd grade.
Heyy you got the Digital Circus shirt!!
Also, if you’re doing fun kids book series you should do Junie B Jones and My Weird School next! The first is about a hilariously bratty little girl (legit had to stop reading them in class as a kid because they would make me laugh too much and disrupt everyone else LOL), the second is about a boy who goes to a school where the entire school staff is batshit insane but they learn funny lessons from it
It took me 3 goddamn minutes and 44 seconds to realize that she is was wearing a amazing digital circus shirt. I feel like a idiot for not noticing despite the fact that I have rewatched the pilot five times.
The shirt is The Amazing Digital Circus! Thats awesome! It just seems perfect for this video!
I don’t know if this counts as a nostalgic series, but I feel like you might like the Upside Down Magic series. I wish more people talked about it to be honest.
Please don't ever stop with the acronyms😂
Bro the investigator was so hungry for this elementary drama
bro was pulling out the popcorn
You became one if my favorite youtuber. It makes my day when you post.
Living in Arizona and hearing about media taking place in Arizona will never not be surreal to me because I always forget we have interesting things here 💀
EDIT: I just noticed Brenton trying to get Sam to stfu Athena you are a genius
I’m bopping to this song so hard rn 23:48
SO WE FLUNG THAT SHIT IN A NATIONAL PARK
DIDNT WANT TO PEOPLE TO SEE SO WE WAITED TILL DARK
I haven’t thought of those books in years. Thanks for the nostalgia trip Athena
I love the unhinged book reports. I remember being obsessed with the book "Swindle" cause who doesn't love a good heist? and N.E.R.D.S because I'm convinced that every former gifted kid had a phase of being obsessed with spies.
I know this is a book report, BUT MASSIVE RESPECT FOR THE DIGITAL CIRCUS SHIRT! I kept seeing Ragatha's Twizzler-hair on your shirt in this vid.
0:39 I've watched EVERY SINGLE ONE of the Yeehaw Romance books and I love them so much ❤
The books I remember being big growing up were animorophs, goosebumps, my x is not an x. (Basically it was like this my coach is not a werewolf(or maybe I'm remembering it wrong and it was like" is my camp counselor a were wolf", had the same group of kids, but they would think some adult in their life was a monster like a ghost, a were wolf, and lake monster or etc. and they would find out that some weird adult in their lives through the book that they weren't some monster) harry potter novels also got really big when I was in school along with the eragon novels. The only little kids book I remember loving growing up was a book called dinosaur Halloween where a kid befriends a little raptor and they trick or treat together.
My favorite books as a kid were Ron Roy's "The A-Z Mysteries", Mary Pope Osborne's "The Magic Treehouse", and Lemony Snicket's "A Series of Unfortunate Events"...
you’re thinking of the Bailey School Kids!
@@sophiatalksmusic3588 that's them
Omg this just unlocked a memory I remember I used to read this book all the time 😊😊
eyyyyyy awesome video Athena, love the book report videos and lore vids!
The ending song for this video is one of the best I've heard so far.
OH MY LORD ATHENA HAS THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS SHIRT! AHHHH IM SO JEALOUS
I HAD THIS BOOK! It was my favorite book for so long I even drew fanart
"Homework Machine? Sounds famil...
THE AI THE KIDS MURDERED BY THROWING INTO THE GRAND CANYON! I forgot about that!"
Your "back in my day" voice sounds so much like Smithers from The Simpsons
I just realized you are wearing A amazing digital circus shirt
The pipe with the bubbles was such an amazing touch Athena, I fucking cackled 😂
You really made a memory resurface with this video! I read this book so much as a kid, or more often, listened to it on Playaway from the library. Each of the kids had a different voice actor in the audiobook version, which worked really well with the testimony style of narration
Do lore on Jake and the Neverland Pirates
Our elementary school teacher assigned us this book but since I understood 0 English back then and never read a book in this language before, when we had reading time in class I would just look at the pages, count in my head to 60, flip the page and repeat until the bell rang XD
Obsessed w the book reviews and especially excited for the yeehaw romance but also we live for nostalgia ngl
I have not thought of this book in years but it all came back to me like 👁👄👁 i never knew there was a sequel!
Song is a jam
10/10
Would listen to it again.
Omg LITERALLY just now i thought "Hm i should check Athena P's channel" and you post a new video at the exact same time
THE SONG AT THE END IS SO CATCHY AHHHH!!! immediately went to spotify to save it to my playlist! wonderful video as always athena!
I noticed you like dumb cowboy themed romance novels, so I’m gonna give you a small list of the best ones❤because I love them too
1 . Gucci Girls Don't Date Cowboys (Sophia Quinn)
2. Wyoming Wild (Sarah Eden)
3. Rough Ride( Piper Stone)
4. Off-Limits Cowboy ( Kristine W. Joy)
5. A Cowboy Firefighter for Christmas ( Kim Redford)
6. At Love's Command ( Karen Witemeyer)
7. Anita Hughes
Christmas at the Ranch
I see The A!axing Digital Circus shirt! Thank you for existing, Athena(I LOVE your videos)!
Hey Athena love your content!
Elephant princess lore please it was a fever dream in the best way
Is it that live action show with the bop of a theme song?
@@alicebthegachaweirdo8378It's also by the same creator as the "H2O: Just Add Water" franchise...
I'm pretty glad to hear you say that you'll still make Yee-haw romance novel content that's my second favorite type of content you make
Hoping it picks up a bit. At the very worst I’ll continue on the 2nd channel. But I’m really hopeful it can still be on main even though it’s been underperforming
I LOVE THE DIGITAL CIRCUS SHIRT OMGGG
No no no, they're right about the Grand Canyon. The one time I went (despite living in Arizona all of my life I've only been once) there was a guy in a cookie monster costume shouting at people. 99% sure he was on something.
I almost screamed when I saw you had TADC merch!!!🥲
I might be misremembering this part - but I swear one of the characters described Brenton's hair as "being parted to one side" and called it weird and like - how else do you part hair???
-a guy who parts his hair to one side, even back in 5th grade when i read this
"Np permission slips where involved" I screamed
