I am a GENIUS of UNSPEAKABLE EVIL and I want to be your CLASS PRESIDENT
by Josh Lieb

Picture the movie Rushmore meets Artemis Fowl - that's this book. It's darkly funny at some points and fantastically silly at others. Everyone in Omaha thinks that 12 year old Oliver Watson is a loser. Not that Oliver cares what other people think. You see, Oliver is really an evil genius with a secret evil empire that has made him the third richest person on earth! But when Oliver’s father challenges him to win the school election, suddenly what other people think becomes important. Can Oliver win over his classmates and rule his empire all while keeping his identity a secret ? It’s a lot harder than you might think! Reviewed by: Alia (YA Fiction)
