Twelve-year-old Oliver Watson’s got the IQ of a grilled cheese sandwich. Or so everyone in Omaha thinks. In reality, Oliver’s a mad evil genius on his way to world domination, and he’s used his great brain to make himself the third-richest person on earth! Then Oliver’s father—and archnemesis—makes a crack about the upcoming middle school election, and Oliver takes it as a personal challenge. He’ll run, and he’ll win! Turns out, though, that overthrowing foreign dictators is actually way easier than getting kids to like you. . . Can this evil genius win the class presidency and keep his true identity a secret, all in time to impress his dad?
This book sparked my interest from the first time I saw it. I know, I know.... don't judge a book by it's cover. But this one lived up to its packaging. Oliver is a stereotypical evil genius with a blend of Stewie from Family Guy and Austin Powers's Doctor Evil complete with disdain for adult authority, secret hide-outs and high tech gadgetry. But the underlying story is a lot closer to reality. Read this book and find out why Oliver, the evil genius, has chosen to run for class president...
Just noted... it looks like they may be turning this book into a movie... I'll write more information about this as it becomes available.
