 Charlie is recruited by the CIA to help find a lost Equation by Einstein that has the potential to solve the energy crisis--and blow up the world. I read this book in a matter of hours. I absolutely LOVED it. It's on my short list for sure and if it makes it to committee, I'll be voting yes for sure. --Margaux

Charlie is a 12 year-old genius who is recruited by the CIA to help find Albert Einstein's last equation before the bad guys get it. A great, fun, easy read!
