In the book The Boy Who Knew Everything, Victoria Forester does a great job of telling an interesting and valuable story. It starts soon after where the first book, The Girl Who Could Fly, left off, when Conrad (who is a genius) is living with Piper McCloud (who has the ability to fly) and her family. The McClouds were happy to take Conrad in, as he had no where to go. His father, the President of the United States, had told everyone his son was dead. Conrad and Piper decide to bring all of their gifted friends together to do good and help people in need. Soon enough, strange disasters occur all over the world, and it is up to Piper, Conrad, and the rest of the gang to stop it. I recommend this book for anyone who likes adventure. It is mainly an elementary-middle school aged level. It is a fun book and I liked it overall.

In the beginning Conrad Harrington III was having his third assessment that evening. The ninny had promised Conrad’s father she’d finish the assessment that evening. Conrad did not want to do the assessment. Also Conrad was upset because it was his seventh birthday and his father cancelled his birthday party. Later on President Harrington kicks Conrad out of the house. Conrad then goes to the McCloud’s house and stays there. On Conrad’s twelfth birthday Piper McCloud decided that she and Jasper, Jeston, Lilly, Myrtle, Smitty, Daisy, Violet, Nalen, Ahmed and Kimber should surprise Conrad with a surprise birthday party. Somehow Conrad already knew that. Piper did not know how Conrad already knew that and was surprised. One day at school Rory Ray Miller and his siblings decided to bully Conrad. Conrad was not afraid of Rory Ray. Then Piper came and threatened Rory Ray till he left Conrad alone. A couple minutes later Conrad and Piper started to argue. After a while Conrad came up with a plan. He told it to Piper the next day and after breakfast they called Jasper, Jeston, Lilly, Myrtle, Smitty, Daisy, Violet, Nalen, Ahmed and Kimber. In the barn Conrad, Piper, Jasper, Jeston, Lilly, Myrtle, Smitty, Daisy, Violet, Nalen, Ahmed and Kimber practiced their talents so that the kids can go on missions to help other people. Then that afternoon the children were ready for their first mission: saving a kitten who was stuck in a tree. Months later Conrad’s sister, Aletha, had disappeared. When Conrad searched Aletha’s house Conrad decided she was hiding somewhere. Conrad and Piper searched and found Aletha in a hidden room. To get in the hidden room Piper and Conrad went up the chimney, went inside a small hole in the bricks and went through another hole in the wood. Suddenly President Harrington came in. When Harrington saw Conrad, Harrington wanted Conrad dead. Conrad saw a bloodstone dangling from his father’s neck. Conrad immediately pulled the bloodstone off of Harrington’s neck. Then Harrington fell to the floor with a thud. When Harrington got up and saw Conrad, Harrington told Conrad to leave because “The Dark One” was going to kill Conrad. Conrad asked Harrington why but Harrington only told him to leave. Then “The Dark One” came and aimed a gun at Conrad. Harrington jumped in front of Conrad but the bullet hit Conrad on the shoulder instead of Harrington (which is strange in my opinion). Piper immediately took Conrad to this island where Conrad’s wound was treated and healed. On that island Piper and Conrad met a girl name AnnA. AnnA showed Piper and Conrad around Xanthia. A couple of weeks later Piper and Conrad met Max. Later on Piper and Conrad found out that Max was a gobbler. A gobbler is a person who eats someone else’s energy to stay alive and young. In a cave where Max lived they found that Max had frozen Harrington. Then seizing his chance, Max captured Conrad. Conrad told Piper to go home and not look back because Max will turn Conrad into a monster. And that is exactly what Piper did. But Max managed to use the lighting to bring Piper down; right above a pool of lava. Before Piper reached the lava Letitia Hellion flew and got her. She was surprised that Letitia, Jasper, Jeston, Lilly, Myrtle, Smitty, Daisy, Violet, Nalen, Ahmed and Kimber were here.

it was a good book.
This was an alright book it wasn't my type, but others might like it because it is action packed and exciting. My favorite character was Conrad because he was funny and wise. I thought it was sad when Conrad's mom died, but luckily Conrad Piper and their group bring her back to life. But Piper Conrad and the gang don't only save Mrs. Harrington they save many other live's including the president and quite a few civilians when disasters start to happen. If you want to find out more about this action packed book you should buy and read 📖 The Boy Who Knew Everything.😀
A great book, and the sequel to the Girl Who Could Fly. Piper McCloud, a country girl who can fly, and Conrad Harrington III, 12 year-old genius, team up with their supernatural friends to help people caught in accidents, and try to solve the mystery about Conrad's father, the president.
I really loved the first book in this series, The Girl Who Could Fly. I think this was a great book to go after it. It is about Conrad (the boy who knows everything) and Piper (the girl who can fly)and a bunch of other kids with very unusual talents like x-ray vision, super strength and being able to shrink to the size of a teacup. Conrad’s father is now the newly elected president of the united states When weird disasters suddenly start happening all over the world, all of the unusually talented kids need Conrad to lead them to put a stop to it. this book was very interesting and fun to read.
I was really excited when Dogo Books sent me this story, because I had read ''The Girl Who Could Fly'' beforehand which I loved and this is the sequel to that book. I just finished reading ''The Boy Who Knew Everything'' and I enjoyed it just as much as the first book! Here is the summery to this book… Piper, Conrad, and the rest of the gifted kids go on one of their many adventures in this story. Piper and Conrad are living in Lowland County and Conrad's extremely smart mind was moving fast as usual. Conrad's father had rejected Conrad for a long time, and when Conrad asked for property of a building in the previous story, his father had asked for one thing in return… that Conrad would never be Conrad Harrison III. That Conrad would no longer have a family. But Conrad thought that he didn't need a family that didn't appreciate him. So he took the offer. Conrad then said yes when Piper asked if he would like to live with her and her family. He didn't tell Betty and Joe, Piper's parents, that he was the son of a famous businessman. They just took him in. But then, when Conrad's father is elected president and his father claims that his son died, Conrad gets moody. He is very upset about what his father said in front of millions of people on tv. He tries to stop thinking like a genius. Then a quick change happens, and to Piper's delight, Conrad has stopped moping. He has gathered the team of extraordinary kids that can fly and run super fast and have x ray vision. He and this group go on missions to save people and animals. But then, Jay, a mysterious man who can turn invisible turns up and says that the kids are in danger. I loved this story so much because it is an adventurous, scary, fun story!!!!! I think the message in this story is ''to trust people''. My favorite character is Conrad because of his bravery and honesty. I hope there is another book in this series because there is a cliffhanger at the end and I want to know what's gong to happen!. If you want to learn more read the book!!!!!!!
