Millicent Min, Girl Genius (Enriched EBK)
by Lisa YeeMillicent Min appeared on The Tonight Show when she was two and competed on Jeopardy! for Kids when she was eight. Now that she's eleven, she'll be starting her senior year of high school in September. Basically, she's a genius, and proud of it. Unfortunately, all her older classmates think she's a stuck-up know-it-all. And kids her age won't go near her.
But Millicent isn't about to let that ruin her summer. That's her mother's job. She thinks Millicent ought to be doing regular kid stuff, so she signs her up for the girls' volleyball league. Even worse, she insists that Millicent tutor the spectacularly stupid, impossibly geeky Stanford Wong. Even Millicent's hip grandma, Maddie, who takes yoga classes and knows kung fu, thinks Millicent needs friends her own age.
Fortunately, things are looking up for this girl genius. Millicent meets Emily, a girl her age who actually thinks Millicent is cool! But Millicent worries that if Emily finds out how brilliant she is, their friendship could go right down the drain. So what's a genius to do? How about hide her awards, lie through her teeth, blackmail Stanford into secrecy, and stop her parents from embarrassing her to death?
Can she pull it off? Find out in this laugh-filled read about a precocious tween who finds out that sometimes, normal is the best thing to be.
