When seventh-grader Jake McQuade mistakes the world's first ingestible knowledge pills for jelly beans, he suddenly knows all about physics and geometry and can speak Swahili (though Spanish would be a lot more useful)--but his sort-of girlfriend Grace thinks they can use his new found brilliance to save their middle school from the new principal, who is conspiring to get it shut down.

"Chris Grabenstein just might be the smartest writer for kids in the universe." --James Patterson

Meet the smartest kid in the universe in this fun-packed series from the New York Times bestselling author of Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library!

Twelve-year-old Jake's middle school is about to be shut down. Jake and his friends know their school's worth saving—if they could only figure out how! When Jake spies a bowl of jellybeans at the hotel where his mum works, he eats them. But uh-oh—those weren't just jellybeans. One of the scientists at his mum's conference is in the process of developing the first ingestible information pills. And that's what Jake ate.

Before long, Jake is the smartest kid in the universe. But the pills haven't been tested yet. And when word gets out about this new genius, people want him. The government. The mega corporations. Not all of them are nice! Can Jake navigate all the ins and outs of his newfound geniusdom (not to mention the ins and outs of middle school!) and use his smarts to figure out how to save his school? (Hint—it will take someone smart enough to decipher an almost forgotten pirate legend!)

It turns out, sometimes even the smartest kid has a lot to learn! Don't miss the next Smartest Kid in the Universe books—Genius Camp and Evil Genius!
