Description

One look at the new kid eating in the school cafeteria, and everyone agrees--William Bilks is a nerd. But Nutty and his friends are in for a big surprise, because William is really a genius in disguise.

Quick Summary

When a new kid shows up in the cafeteria looking like the typical nerd, Nutty and his friends think they have him all figured out until they discover he's actually a genius in disguise. Suddenly the school election for class president becomes a wild, laugh-out-loud battle of wits, pranks, and unexpected alliances that keep the pages turning. The story is perfect for kids who love humor, fast-paced school drama, and anyone who's ever wondered what would happen if the underdog turned out to be the smartest kid in the room. Parents can rest assured there's nothing too scary here just a few tense campaign moments, some gentle teasing, and a lot of goofy jokes that make it a safe, fun read for middle-grade readers. Readers will follow Nutty as he navigates campaign posters, secret schemes, and a surprise twist that forces everyone to rethink what it really means to be a leader. Fans of Dan Gutman's "The Kid Who Ran for President" will recognize the same mix of silly antics and real-world election lessons.
