The Funniest Book Out Right Now

evilgenius_1.jpgI am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I Want to be Your Class President by Josh Lieb is one of the funniest, laugh-out-loud books I have ever read. I'm likely aging myself, but if you remember the cartoon Pinky and Brain then you will get this book. It can also be described as the Family Guy meets Election. Jon Stewart of the Daily Show mentioned the book on his show and stars in a fun video with the author. He thinks it is hilarious.

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 arch nemesis-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?

Lucky for all you readers the FCOE Library has a copy of this book available for check-out.
