Illustrated by
Matt Smith.
Thirteen-year-old Lenny uses his scientific genius to shrink himself down to microscopic size in a bid to get a girl to like him by literally "chang[ing] her mind about me." Naturally, this backfires spectacularly. With likable characters and a good dose of humor, Schreiber pulls off this over-the-top premise, making the farce seem almost believable.
