Bookroo's summary
Fifth grader Nora Rowley is secretly a genius, hiding her brilliance to avoid the pressure of gifted programs. Frustrated by the obsession with grades, she deliberately brings home a poor report card. This sparks a frenzy among her teachers and parents, desperate to uncover what's wrong. Can Nora prove that intelligence can't be measured by tests alone, or will her plan backfire? Dive into Nora's world as she challenges the system and questions the true meaning of intelligence.
From the publisher
True or False? Fifth grader Nora Rose Rowley is really a genius. True. But don’t tell anyone. Nora always gets average grades so she can forgo the pressure-cooker gifted program or Brainiac Academy. But when Nora gets one hundred percent fed up over testing and the fuss everyone makes about grades, she brings home a terrible report card just to prove a point. Pretty soon her teachers, parents, and the principal are launching a massive effort to find out what’s wrong. But can Nora convince them that tests alone are a stupid way to measure intelligence?
