Millicent Min is a genius. Literally! She is only 11 and already taking college level courses! But she doesn't really have any friends. Her mother signs her up for volleyball and she meets another 11 year old, Emily Ebers. Millicent and Emily become friends. But Emily doesn't know Millicent is a genius--and Millicent doesn't plan to tell. Also, Millicent is tutoring a boy, Stanford Wong, but has sworn not to tell anyone. Only, Emily finds out somebody is tutoring somebody. So... Stanford says he's tutoring Millicent! Now Millicent is, apparently, a homeschooled kid who is failing English. Can Millicent manage this relationship without anyone finding out the truth?
This book is good. It's kind of funny. Also it is very interesting looking at the mind of a genius.
