    Fifth grader Nora Rose Rowley is really a genius.
    It’s true.
    But don’t tell anyone.
    Nora always gets average grades so she can forgo the pressure-cooker gifted program or Brainiac Academy.
    But when Nora gets one hundred percent fed up over testing and the fuss everyone makes about grades, she brings home a terrible report card just to prove a point.
    Pretty soon her teachers, parents, and the principal are launching a massive effort to find out what’s wrong. Can Nora convince them that tests alone are a stupid way to measure intelligence?
