Nerd Power

Diary of a Boy Genius #1

by H.T. Night

Cody Greer has made it. He’s finally in the sixth grade and king of the world. Or, at least, king of his school. Cody has a lot going for him but has only one thing on his mind―winning the heart of the new girl in school, Sarah Davis.

But who knew that the sixth grade could be so much work? Almost immediately, Cody defends Sarah's honor, plays his arch-rival, Eric Mullen, in the championship football game and still manages to somehow find time to be the lead in the school play.

And as he navigates through the treacherous waters of his final year at Wenchester Elementary―as he experiences his first love, his first kiss, a painful loss, and more fun and laughs and tears than he ever bargained for―Cody Greer will discover the true meaning of friendship and learn that life has a funny way of throwing you a few curve balls. Luckily, Cody knows just how to keep his eye on the ball.

Reviews

[Richard Goodrum · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cody Greer is a math nerd and proud of it. He's also a champion athlete. At least he was in fifth grade. He's also enthralled with the new girl, Sarah Davis. He even saves her from some unsavory types on the way home one day. But he doesn't have the guts to talk with her.

This Children's Coming of Age story is delightful. Many of the topics broached here are frequently reserved for students in middle or even high school. Topics such as choosing a partner (boyfriend/girlfriend) and kissing. The small amount of bullying addressed is done with taste using forgiveness, acceptance, and inclusion. Overall, this is a satisfying story.

Entertaining. Romantic. Tragic. Unpredictable. Whimsical. Wonderful characters.

I can't believe the hormones in these 11-year olds. To the best of my knowledge I wasn't thinking of any boyfriend at that age.
