Overview: This story is about a girl named Angeline who is a genius: she could read when she wasn't even old enough to turn the pages of the book, she knew how to play the piano when he hasn't ever had a single lesson, she can always predict the weather and she was already in the sixth grade when she was only eight. But unfortunately, being a genius only got her into a lot of trouble, mean children in her class called her names, such as genius freak, etc and her form teacher- Mrs. Hardlick hated her because Angeline was smarter than her. However what she truly wants was to be an ordinary eight-year-old kid someday. But will someday come as quickly as she thought, or will more trouble get in her way again???? This is for you to find out by yourself!!
Comments: I think this book is truly well-plotted and fabulously written although it is not as well-written as the novel "Holes" which is also written by Louis Sachar. I like Angeline because she is very clever and smart. I really liked the ending when finally Angeline's father was happy again because he finally found a person he loved after Angeline's mother died during a swim on the Mitchell beach, this is also the reason why Angeline's father never took Angeline to the beach. Eventually, Angeline's father can tell jokes and be happy once more. Angeline also made a new friend whose name is Gary. What a happy ending!! I sincerely recommend this interesting book to you and I hope you will like it!
