ForeWord Magazine's Book of the Year Awards finalist, Juvenile Fiction category, 2007

Michael's days as a happy underachiever are over when he accidentally eats a nanochip loaded with information and becomes his own worst nightmare: a know-it-all.

Michael Wise is lazy and unmotivated, and the perfect student council president for J.R. Wilcott Middle School.

But one day everything changes drastically when Michael innocently indulges in his favourite treat, his mom's triple chocolate brownies. Unbeknownst to Michael, his computer programming dad accidentally left a chip on the counter when his mom was mixing the recipe. The nanochip, which his dad had developed, is loaded with educational data...and now it's been absorbed into Michael.

To Michael's horror, he begins spouting information in his French class, he's a master chef at home, and he's a sudden whiz in math. Before he knows it, Michael is not the happy underachiever he used to be, but a brainiac, held up as an example by his teachers, and hated by everyone in the student body.

What has happened to the old Michael? Is the underachiever gone for good?
