I am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I want to be your Class President by Josh Lieb

I picked up Josh Lieb's I am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I want to be your Class President because I am a fan of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and Stewart plugged the book one night because Lieb is one of his executive producers. This is the story of a seemingly dull 7th grader who is actually a business tycoon who controls much more of his environment than anyone could imagine.

I found this to be an entertaining read - it's light and well written. I also think that my sons, one in high school and one in middle school, will enjoy this tale of a seemingly powerless teenager who is actually in control. This is a good book to read on a vacation, or to give to a youngster who is looking for age-appropriate reading material that has a bit of an edge to it.
