Millicent Min, Girl Genius

From Newbery Honor Award-winning author, Lisa Yee. Who would have thought being smart could be so hard (and funny)?

Millicent Min, Girl Genius joins the Scholastic Gold line, which features award-winning and beloved novels. Includes exclusive bonus content!

Millicent Min is having a bad summer. Her fellow high school students hate her for setting the curve. Her fellow eleven-year-olds hate her for going to high school. Her grandmother Maddie is moving away. And in an effort to give Millicent a more normal childhood, her mom has not only signed her up for volleyball, she's also arranged for her to tutor Stanford Wong -- jock, jerk, and poster boy for Chinese geekdom.

But when Millicent meets Emily, things start to look up. Emily doesn't know Millicent's IQ score. She actually thinks Millicent is cool. And if Millicent can hide her awards, ignore her grandmother's advice, blackmail Stanford into silence, learn to serve a volleyball over the net, stop her parents from embarrassing her forever, and keep all her lies straight, she just might make her first friend.

What's it going to take?

Sheer genius.
