A Year in the Life of a Total and Complete Genius

Gordon Korman meets Word Nerd in this totally (and completely) genius debut! Arthur Bean soon-to-be a rich and famous author has set two goals for himself: to win the school writing contest and to win the heart of his secret crush Kennedy. But his life has had some major twists and turns lately and the recent loss of his mother definitely complicates things. Arthur is in turns outrageous defiant and unintentionally hilarious as we peek over his shoulder at his reading journals notes from his long-suffering teachers his offbeat articles for the school newspaper even the emails he sends to writing partner Kennedy. A Year in the Life of a Total and Complete Genius is a fresh and funny story about a boy whose bad luck cant dampen his spirit or his love of writing.
