True or False?
Fifth grader Nora Rose Rowley is really a genius.
True.
But don't tell anyone.
Nora always gets average grades so she can forgo the pressure-cooker gifted program or Brainiac Academy.
But when Nora gets one hundred percent fed up over testing and the fuss everyone makes about grades, she brings home a terrible report card just to prove a point.
Pretty soon her teachers, parents, and the principal are launching a massive effort to find out what's wrong. But can Nora convince them that tests alone are a stupid way to measure intelligence?
Andrew Clements is the celebrated author of the Christopher Award-winning novel Frindle, The Landry News, The Janitor's Boy, the Jake Drake series, The School Story, A Week in the Woods, and many other books for children. He lives in Westborough, Massachusetts, with his wife and four children.
