BOOK NAME: Millicent Min, Girl Genius
AUTHOR: Lisa Yee
 

Millicent Min, Girl Genius is one of my favorite books that I have ever read. The story is about a girl named Millicent Min who is a super smart 11 year-old. She is so intelligent that she skipped grades all the way up to her senior year in high school.  Millicent doesn't have very many friends until a new girl comes into town; her name is Emily Ebers. Emily and Millicent meet when both of them have been forced into volleyball by their moms. They aren't very good so they decide to hang out. 

     Millicent ends up tutoring basketball star, Stanford Wong who is not very smart with a report card full of "F"'s. Millicent doesn't want Emily, her only friend, to think that she is geeky-smart, and Stanford, who has a major crush on Emily, doesn't want her to think that he is dumb. So they agree not to tell Emily, but she finds out anyway. Millicent and Stanford think fast by saying that Stanford is tutoring Millicent instead! Will both Stanford and Millicent be able to face Emily with the truth, or will Emily find out the truth first?
    I loved reading this book. What I liked about it was that the story moved fast - it wasn't boring! The cool part of the book is that its' sequels are from Emily and Stanford's point of view at the same exact time period. I read the So Totally Emily Eber's book a while ago and am planning to read Stanford Wong Flunks Big-Time very soon.
    I suggest this to all you readers who like books that are almost like a real teenage life. It's also more of an older kid's book. PLEASE read this book and I promise you that you will like it. Then put a comment of something that has happened in your life that is kind of similar to something that happened in the books.
