It was the first novel Betsy Byars wrote on her new computer.[1] Plot summaryKate Morrison, the title character, is receiving messages on her computer purportedly from an extraterrestrial, BB-19, who claims he can monitor and control all computers on Earth. At first, she and her friend Linda investigate the communication as a prank; one of their suspects is Willie. ReceptionThe novel won the 1986–1987 Charlie May Simon Children's Book Award.[2] A reviewer from Kirkus Reviews stated the "who's-on-the-computer? gambit, and the true-to-character humor holds up well enough to keep readers going--even if the thwarted space-comedian bombs out."[3] Caroline Ward from the School Library Journal did not view the book as positively, commenting that the book's "[p]lot and characterization fall short of Byars' usual perceptive fare" and it is "not convincing as either an alien-from-another-world story or as an addition to the plethora of computer fiction."[4] Zena Sutherland, writing for Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, stated the book was "at times funny," but that "it's not up to Byars' usual high standard in plot or cohesion of content."[5] The Times Literary Supplement{{'}}s Julia Briggs felt the book failed to "exploit the intriguing if unpoetic possibilities of computer language."[6] References1. ^{{cite book|last1=McElmeel|first1=Sharron L.|title=Educator's Companion to Children's Literature: Folklore, Contemporary Realistic Fiction, Fantasy, Biographies, and Tales from Here and There, Volume 2|date=1996|publisher=Libraries Unlimited|isbn=1-56308-330-2|page=61|url=https://books.google.ca/books?id=5is7oxA1MjgC&pg=PA61|accessdate=December 28, 2016}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Computer Nut}}{{1980s-child-novel-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Charlie May Simon Children’s Books Award Winners|url=http://www.arareading.org/resources/Documents/AR-book-awards/Charlie%20May%20Simon%20Children%20Fact%20Sheet%202016.pdf|publisher=Arkansas Reading Association|accessdate=December 28, 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=THE COMPUTER NUT|url=https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/guy-byars/the-computer-nut/|work=Kirkus Reviews|accessdate=December 28, 2016|date=September 15, 1984}} 4. ^{{cite journal|last1=Ward|first1=Caroline|title=Grades 3–6|journal=School Library Journal|date=October 1984|volume=31|issue=2|page=155|via=Academic Search Complete}} 5. ^{{cite journal|last1=Sutherland|first1=Zena|title=New Titles for Children and Young People|journal=Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books|date=January 1985|volume=38|issue=5|page=81|url=https://www.ideals.illinois.edu/bitstream/handle/2142/12766/bulletincenterchv00038i00005_opt.pdf?sequence=2&isAllowed=y|accessdate=December 28, 2016}} 6. ^{{cite news|last1=Briggs|first1=Julia|title=Young buffs|work=The Times Literary Supplement|issue=4270|date=February 1, 1985|page=130|via=TLS Historical Archive}} 4 : 1984 American novels|American children's novels|Children's science fiction novels|1984 children's books |
