It follows a girl who is a genius that can remember everything but chooses to hide it so she doesn't come off as the weird girl. It is a great book that supports students loving themselves and reminding them that a test score or grade does not define who they are as a person or even as a student. no reviews | add a review

Fifth-grader Nora Rowley has always hidden the fact that she is a genius from everyone because all she wants is to be normal, but when she comes up with a plan to prove that grades are not important, things begin to get out of control. No library descriptions found. |

I was not very into this. The audio book reader had a really high-pitched voice and I often felt like it wasn't going anywhere interesting. The subject of testing has been beaten to death from every possible angle, so at this point I'm only interested in hearing creative alternatives to grading and testing...and this book offers none. As with many of Clements' books, the emphasis is on questioning authority in a mature and responsible way. I would recommend it, even though it didn't do much for me.
Oh, and the adult hero of the book is the school librarian, which was cool. ( )
