Millicent Min, Girl Genius by Lisa Yee

3.0

Millicent Min is graduating highschool at 12. She's a certified genius and as socially adept as your average earth worm. In fact, Millie's only friend is her grandmother, Maddy. Then her mom enrolls her in volleyball for the summer and Millie is forced to tutor her grandmother's friend's son, Stanford - the idiot. At volleyball Millie meets Emily, the new girl in town and the two hit it off. Except Emily has no idea Millie is a genius and not a regular girl. Millie tries desperately to keep her secret so she can have at least one friend her own age.

This was an impulse read for me. Not my usual thing but I thought I'd give it a chance. There were a few cute moments and the characters were quirky and interesting. I felt like this was a book in search of a plot however, and it rambled along quite a bit. Overall not a bad read, just not one of the greats.
