Friendship
THE CLUELESS GIRL'S GUIDE TO BEING A GENIUS by Janice Repka. Dutton 2011.
Aphrodite is a genius. She has already graduated from college at the tender age of 13. To collect data for her thesis, she has volunteered to become a middle school math teacher. Thrown into the class others call boneheads, Dytee is determined to show them all that they can be successful. It will take a huge sales job, especially for Mindy. Though Dytee and Mindy are the same age, they belong in two different worlds. But being 13 just might connect them. Funny and fast paced, here is a book that goes beyond the usual friendship story to include math, baton twirling, and beauty salons. <496>
