Synopsis

"Chris Grabenstein just might be the smartest writer for kids in the universe." —James Patterson

The Smartest Kid in the Universe goes to genius camp in book two of this action-packed series from the New York Times bestselling author of Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library!

Jake McQuade is the smartest kid in the universe—and he's back to defend his title! This time, he is heading off to a camp for geniuses sponsored by billionaire tech mogul (and brilliant inventor) Zane Zinkle.

But genius camp is not like regular camp. There are limo buses, robot polar bears, and high-tech cabins with high-tech toilets! But it isn’t all fun and brain games at camp, especially when Jake goes up against the artificially intelligent Virtuoso quantum computer—the smartest machine in the universe—which also happens to be Zinkle’s latest genius creation! It's boy versus bot in this epic showdown packed with s'mores, puzzles, action, adventure, and hilarious, jelly bean-fueled fun! Bonus puzzle included!

Excellent read with my 9 year old. We love the Lemoncello books and this one is very similar in style.......more

Goodreads review by Kristi on January 17, 2022

This book was just as fun as its predecessor. I really appreciated that Jake was insecure about his newfound genius, partly because he wasn't sure if/when it might suddenly wear off, and partly because he knew the jelly beans don't cover every subject. I like his connection to Haazim Farooqi (jelly......more
