A Year in the Life of a Complete and Total Genius

Arthur Bean is a genius—it's just that no one else realizes this quite yet. He's going to be a world-famous author, and the first step is to win this year’s story-writing contest. What he writes is pretty funny, but it gets him into trouble too. Like with his English teacher. And the school newspaper advisor. And cool girl Kennedy. And Arthur’s number one nemesis, Robbie Zack. But all great authors spark controversy, so Arthur’s not too concerned. Through letters, email exchanges, “SEE ME” notes and doodles, enter the funny, touching, and often mixed-up mind of Arthur Bean, creative genius.
