At first Benton decides to use the machine alone, he doesn't really need the help, but hey who doesn't want to get out of a little homework. While bragging one day Benton lets the cat out of the bag and he tells the other three students about the machine. When the other students at his table are introduced to the machine, they are addicted to it immediately. It isn't like Benton needs the help, but Sam, Kelsey and Judy all need help with their grades. The first year teacher doesn't notice the vast improvement in their grades right away, but how long can they carry on this charade? Then a Mr. Milner starts stopping certain members of the group to ask them questions about Benton, this makes the group of four worry. As this diary style book introduces the Grand Canyon Police, the students have a reason to become concerned.
