Pero la diversión se convierte en peligro durante una expedición en la que Lea debe demostrarle a Zac, y a sí misma, que tiene el valor para enfrentar los desafíos."--back cover.

Her fellow 11-year-olds hate her for going to high school. And her mother has arranged for her to tutor Stanford Wong, the poster boy for Chinese geekdom. But then Millie meets Emily. Emily doesn''t know Millicent''s IQ score. She actually thinks Millie is cool. And if Millie can hide her awards, ignore her grandmother''s advice, swear her parents to silence, blackmail Stanford, and keep all her lies straight, she just might make her first friend.What''s it going to take? Sheer genius.

This companion to Millicent Min, Girl Genius introduces us to Emily Ebers, average girl extraordinaire, and brings Lisa Yee''s funny, touching story of friendship and family full circle.

Emily Ebers may be starting over, but she''s going to come out on top.

Lisa Yee gives us her most fascinating flawed genius since Millicent Min. Higgs Boson Bing has seven days left before his perfect high school career is completed. Then it''s on to Harvard to fulfill the fantasy portrait of success that he and his parents have cultivated for the past four years. Four years of academic achievement. Four years of debate championships. Two years of dating the most popular girl in school. It was, literally, everything his parents could have wanted. Everything they wanted for Higgs''s older brother Jeffrey, in fact. But something''s not right. And when Higgs''s girlfriend presents him with a seemingly innocent hypothetical question about whether or not he''d give her a kidney . . . the exposed fault lines reach straight down to the foundations of his life. . . .

Bobby will have to overcome his fears if he''s going to come out on top.
