Millicent Min, Girl Genius

by Lisa Yee

The 11-year-old genius narrator of this energetic first novel has problems. Her common sense hasn't caught up with her clever brain! Millie's unique personality is a blend of rationality and naivete, and even if readers can't relate to her mastery of Latin, most will readily follow as Millie struggles through "a world where she's smarter than everyone but still sometimes clueless." - Booklist Includes AFTER WORDS bonus features
