A dysfunctional yet loving family must find a way to thwart a worldwide technology uprising in this laugh-out-loud Level 2 Ready-to-Read based on the motion picture form Sony Pictures Animation, The Mitchells vs. the Machines! Meet the Mitchell family: They are the most unlikely people to save the world, but when electronic devices, including a new line of personal robots, take over, it’s up to them to save humanity. Get to know everyone in the family, from parents Rick and Linda Mitchell; to their daughter, Katie; and son, Aaron—and don’t forget their lovable dog, Monchi! Katie is an aspiring filmmaker, Aaron loves dinosaurs more than anything in the world, Rick loves the great outdoors, Linda just wants them all to get along—and none of them are trained in battling refrigerators or robots. On paper they actually sound like the world’s worst family to rely on during a technology takeover. They have flaws and are undeniably human…but that is what makes them perfect for the job.

This book tells the stranger-than-fiction story of how a poor white family from Indiana was scapegoated into prominence as America's "worst" family by the eugenics movement in the early twentieth century, then "reinvented" in the 1970s as part of a vanguard of social rebellion. In what becomes a profoundly unsettling counter-history of the United States, Nathaniel Deutsch traces how the Ishmaels, whose patriarch fought in the Revolutionary War, were discovered in the slums of Indianapolis in the 1870s and became a symbol for all that was wrong with the urban poor. The Ishmaels, actually white Christians, were later celebrated in the 1970s as the founders of the country's first African American Muslim community. This bizarre and fascinating saga reveals how class, race, religion, and science have shaped the nation's history and myths.
