"Chris Grabenstein just might be the smartest writer for kids in the universe." (James Patterson)

What if you could learn everything just by eating jellybeans?! Meet the smartest kid in the universe and find out in this fun-packed new series from the best-selling author of Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library and coauthor of Max Einstein!

Twelve-year-old Jake's middle school is about to be shut down—unless Jake and his friends can figure out how to save it. When Jake spies a bowl of jellybeans at the hotel where his mom works, he eats them. But those weren't just jellybeans, one of the scientists at his mom's conference is developing the world's first ingestible information pills. And that's what Jake ate.

Before long, Jake is the smartest kid in the universe. But the pills haven't been tested yet. And when word gets out about this new genius, people want him. The government. The mega corporations. Not all of them are good people! Can Jake navigate the ins and outs of his newfound geniusdom (not to mention the ins and outs of middle school) and use his smarts to save his school? Bonus! Includes extra brainteasers to test your smarts!

Don't miss the next Smartest Kid in the Universe—Genius Camp!

This book was a fun find. This would be a great book for a family road trip. It has humor and some fun brain teasers. I’m a big fan of the narrator too. It’s always nice to find a good clean book. I look forward to listening to the rest of the books in this series.

Fun for the family!
