Bookroo's summary
Millicent Min, a genius stuck between high school and childhood, faces a summer of social chaos. Her peers resent her brilliance, and she's forced to tutor Stanford Wong. But when she meets Emily, who sees her as cool, Millicent must conceal her intelligence and navigate a web of lies. Can she manage her secrets and finally find friendship, or will her genius be her downfall? Discover the lengths she'll go to for acceptance in this humorous tale of brains and bravery.
From the publisher
Who would have thought being smart could be so hard (and funny)?Millicent Min is having a bad summer. Her fellow high school students hate her for setting the curve. Her fellow 11-year-olds hate her for going to high school. And her mother has arranged for her to tutor Stanford Wong, the poster boy for Chinese geekdom. But then Millie meets Emily. Emily doesn’t know Millicent’s IQ score. She actually thinks Millie is cool. And if Millie can hide her awards, ignore her grandmother’s advice, swear her parents to silence, blackmail Stanford, and keep all her lies straight, she just might make her first friend.What’s it going to take? Sheer genius.
