A K A Genius
$12.95
Introducing a new line of Catholic Teen Fiction!
Thirteen-year-old Gabe Carpenter is just like any other middle-school boy at St. Jude Academy…well, except for the fact that based on his scores on some seventh grade test, he is considered a “genius” and is placed in an enrichment class with other gifted students. But he sure doesn’t seem like a genius-after all, he can’t even open his own locker and his brain stops functioning when Becca, his sister’s best friend, comes around.
As if these problems aren’t enough to deal with, he is convinced that one of his arms is longer than the other, he has yet to grow a mustache, and his second best friend is mad at him. Even worse, his nervousness causes some pretty embarrassing bodily functions. And at home, his dad expects him to be some kind of basketball star athlete instead of a science nerd who predicts the weather. Good thing he can pray to St. Jude, the patron saint of lost causes…
