Synopsis

Millicent Min is having a bad summer. Her fellow high school students hate her for setting the curve. Her fellow 11-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 Millie 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 Millie is cool. And if Millie 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.

Millicent Min Girl Genius is a fabulous story for introverts. Millicent says things that logical people may often have thought about emotional situations. She made me laugh out loud several times.

I was an avid reader as a little girl, and I read hundreds of books. But this book about a young Chinese-American girl with a genius IQ is an easy runner-up for my favorite childhood novel. This book begins with young Millie Min, precocious and antisocial, who is eager to experience college and get......more
