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

The Smartest Kid in the Universe goes to genius camp in book two of this action-packed series from the New York Times bestselling author of Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library!

Jake McQuade is the smartest kid in the universe—and he's back to defend his title! This time, he is heading off to a camp for geniuses sponsored by billionaire tech mogul (and brilliant inventor) Zane Zinkle.

But genius camp is not like regular camp. There are limo buses, robot polar bears, and high-tech cabins with high-tech toilets! But it isn’t all fun and brain games at camp, especially when Jake goes up against the artificially intelligent Virtuoso quantum computer—the smartest machine in the universe—which also happens to be Zinkle’s latest genius creation! It's boy versus bot in this epic showdown packed with s'mores, puzzles, action, adventure, and hilarious, jelly bean-fueled fun! Bonus puzzle included!

does not disappoint

As usual, I was drawn into another Grabenstein book which I read in one day. In book two of this series, he doesn't disappoint. The narration is great
and the story is fun and has a great underlying storyline of good defeating evil, right vs. wrong. A must read. The story is short and great for the entire family. Another must-read!

Very good

I liked the entire audible listen. I believe that this book should be shown more in the discover page.

Maybe you're not the smartest around

It was amazing how our lead team out thought the big bad who was just a jealous little man who was the smartest kid in the universe before our kid ate the jellybean. The kid undid the damage that the smart guy did.

My son loved it as much as the first

We were very excited to find out there was this book 2 and a book three! My 9 year old loves them
