The Smartest id in the Universe is a great start to the brand new series by Chris Grabenstein, the author of the Lemoncello series and other amazing books. Jake is a slacker. He is a cool kid who doesn't put much effort into school. He doesn't care about academics, but that changes when he eats some jelly beans at his mom's work. Being careless, Jake doesn't look at the label, and it turns out those jellybeans were knowledge enhancers. Now Jake knows almost everything in the world, and people are starting to get suspicious. He excels on the IQ tests, and even signs up for the Quiz Bowl with his best friend and crush. But when his crush starts to tell about a tale and how the principle is going to shut down the school, it's up to Jake to use his newfound intelligence to save his school and his crush's legacy. Will he be able to outsmart everyone in his school to save it, or will his knowledge fail him and his friends? I really enjoyed this book because of the idea and humor this book presented. I recommend this book to readers!
The Smartest Kid in the Universe
By Chris Grabenstein
Meet the Smartest Kid in the Universe in this brand new, fun-packed read from the New York Times Bestselling Author of Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library and coauthor of Max Einstein!
"For centuries, humans have consumed information through their eyes and our ears," said Dr. Backbridge. "Here is my prediction. In the not-too-distant future, we are going to ingest information. You won't need to read a book or attend lectures. The chemicals in these pills will do your learning for you."
12 year old Jake's middle school is about to be shut down. Jake and his friends know their school's worth saving-if they could only figure out how! When Jake spies a bowl of jellybeans at the hotel where his mom works, he eats them. But uh-oh-those weren't just jellybeans, one of the scientists at his mom's conference is in the process of developing the first ingestible information pills. And THAT'S what Jake ate.
Before long, Jake is the smartest kid in the universe. But the pills haven't been tested yet. And when word gets out about this new genius, people want him. The government. The mega corporations. Not all of them are good people! Can Jake navigate all the ins and outs of his newfound geniusdom (not to mention the ins and outs of middle school!) AND use his smarts to figure out how to save his school? (Hint-it will take someone smart enough to decipher an almost forgotten pirate legend!) It turns out, sometimes even the smartest kid has a lot to learn!
"Chris Grabenstein just might the smartest writer for kids in the universe. No kid, and no adult, will be able to resist The Smartest Kid in the Universe."-James Patterson
"Clever, fast-paced and incredibly funny--Chris Grabenstein has done it again."--Stuart Gibbs, New York Times Bestselling author of Spy School
