Wilcott Middle School. </p><p> But one day everything changes drastically when Michael innocently indulges in his favourite treat, his mom's triple chocolate brownies. Unbeknownst to Michael, his computer programming dad accidentally left a chip on the counter when his mom was mixing the recipe. The nanochip, which his dad had developed, is loaded with educational data...and now it's been absorbed into Michael. </p><p> To Michael's horror, he begins spouting information in his French class, he's a master chef at home, and he's a sudden whiz in math. Before he knows it, Michael is not the happy underachiever he used to be, but a brainiac, held up as an example by his teachers, and hated by everyone in the student body. </p><p> What has happened to the old Michael? Is the underachiever gone for good? </p><p> <i>ForeWord Magazine</i>'s Book of the Year Awards finalist, Juvenile Fiction category, 2007 </p><p> Diamond Willow Award Nominee 2009 </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Adults will get a chuckle if reading this book aloud, and slackers and overachievers alike will relish the humour in this novel aimed at middle school students. . .
