Imagine a house where everything works by itself! Professor Bullfinch creates this amazing "House of the Future." He plans to show it off at an upcoming Science Fair.
This special house has automatic controls for everything. It can change the temperature and even do chores. Things like washing clothes and making food are all handled automatically.
Danny, Irene, and Joe decide to explore this futuristic home. Irene's young cousin also joins them. But then, something goes wrong! The house's security system activates. It seals the house completely shut.
The friends quickly realize they are trapped inside. The windows are unbreakable. There's no food or a working phone. The Science Fair won't open for three more days! How will they escape?
