Millicent may be a girl genius, but outside of academics she's not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. Readers will laugh and groan at her ultra-geeky efforts to fit in (granted, it's awkward being the only eleven-year-old in the eleventh grade). In this smartly funny debut novel, Millicent finds that she doesn't know everything and learns some crucial lessons about friendship and trust.
