Twelve-year-old Jake''s middle school is about to be shut down. Jake and his friends know their school''s worth saving-if they could only figure out how! When Jake spies a bowl of jellybeans at the hotel where his mom works, he eats them.

Before long, Jake is the smartest kid in the universe. But the pills haven''t been tested yet. And when word gets out about this new genius, people want him. The government. The mega corporations.
