When Mom tells Logan that Java is joining his soccer team, the Purple Wombats, he's not thrilled. It's a lot of work teaching his new robot cousin how to act like a human and keeping him out of trouble and Logan needs a break.

Still, being programmed for success means that Java's also great at scoring. He might just turn the Wombats into a championship team, beating Sherry and Jerry Silverspoon and their Red Polar Bears . . . if he'd just let the other kids play, too. After being replaced as the Wombats' MVP, Logan's had enough.

But when Java gets wet and goes on the fritz, can the whole team even a short-circuiting Java come together to score the winning goal?
