The Genius Experiment

Reach for this book when your child feels like their intelligence makes them an outsider or when they express a desire to use their talents to help others. Max Einstein is a twelve year old genius who lives a non traditional life, hacking into college courses and inventing tools for the homeless, until she is recruited by a secret global organization. The story balances high stakes adventure with deep themes of belonging and the ethical use of science. It is perfectly pitched for middle grade readers who enjoy fast paced mysteries. Parents will appreciate the way it celebrates intellectual curiosity, empathy for the vulnerable, and the importance of finding a 'tribe' that values your unique mind.
