Millicent Min, Girl Genius by Lisa Yee
3.0
Millicent Min is an 11 year old genius. She is lacking social skills and isn't liked by her high school classmates. She hopes to enjoy her summer by taking a college poetry class. Her parents have other ideas and insist she play on a volleyball team with girls her age and also tutor a neighbor, Stanford. She isn't thrilled. She makes a friend with Emily, a girl on the volleyball team, who doesn't know about her I.Q. When Emily sees her with Stanford she assumes that Stanford is tutoring her. Millie is in a hard position. Can you be a good friend when you are lying to them?
I read this as part of my goal to read around my library and have books to recommend to students. I have it in my sports section but volleyball is just a small part of the book. It is about friendship and self-acceptance. I already passed it on to a student and she enjoyed it too!
