The Smartest Kid in the Universe by Chris Grabenstein
5.0

What would you do if all of a sudden you knew almost everything? Jake ate some jellybeans and that’s what happened. Now he has a problem. Normally, he just coasted through life getting by on charm and minimal effort. Now because he knows so much people are expecting things from him.

This was a fun story for middle grade readers. There were many great talking points to encourage dialogue about expectations. With great power comes great responsibility. But how much responsibility is too much?
