Summary: Straight A's
Review: I loved this book. (Some people think that I am like Millie, but I'll take that as a complement.)Millicent Min is really smart, and really dumb at the same time. She's only 11, but taking a class in college for the summer. All her friends are adults, until she meets Emily. She lies to Emily and almost loses her as a friend. The book is about truth and friendship. And it's really funny, though some parts are very sad and almost made me cry.

Summary: "Brillant" Book- A Great read!
Review: I LOVED this book. At first, I thought this book was okay, but as Millicent ( Also know as Millie ) Takes up some "I'm a regular 11 year old girl" sports and actually meets a girl named Emily. Even though they are different, Millicent and Emily are bound to be friends. But Millie doesn't tell her she's in college. - I reccomend this book for ages 5- ??. It was a great price for a thick book... about 280 pages... I got mine for 4.99 :)

Summary: Millicent Min Girl Genius
Review: It's always a joy to find a book that I can't put down, and MILLICENT MIN was such a story. Lisa Yee has accomplished two very difficult feats, combining a genuinely funny book with real emotional depth. Add to this her many interesting and well-rounded characters and you've got a book that kids, and adults like me, will classify as a winner. Congratulations, Ms. Yee!

Summary: Millicent Min -- Sid Fleischman Humor Award Winner
Review: It's the summer before Millicent's senior year of high school. She has a hard time making friends and fitting in because she is ELEVEN years old. Millicent is a genius, but there's a lot that she needs to learn about living. Life is going to get a little crazy, for order-loving Millicent. Her grandmother is moving away. Her mom has signed her up for summer sports. She has to tutor Stanford, a family friend, who she has a hard time getting along with. She is taking her first college class. Will Millicent survive all the changes? Will Millicent make her first friend that is her own age? This is a quick read that is hard to put down. I'm looking forward to Lisa Yee's next book that tells about the same time period from Stanford's point of view (www.lisayee.com).

Summary: Silly Milli!
Review: Millicent Min is a good, no great book to read! Not only is it fun filled and funny but it's loaded with little pieces of advice that are very true thanks to the wonderful author Lisa Yee. It's about this very smart girl who has no friends because she is always critizing and correcting them but then her mother signs her up (against her will) for the dreaded volleyball team. There she finally makes a friend, Emily, but Emily doesn't know Milli's secret of being a college student at the age of eleven. Will Millicent tell Emily? And if she does will Emily still be friends? Find out by reading the book. I've heard that her book is so great that they're going to make it in Italian and it's already out on audio tape! What luck for a first time book! Congrads Mrs. Yee

Summary: Smart and Funny "Genius"
Review: The debut novel Millicent Min, Girl Genius by Lisa Yee is an absolute riot. Millicent is eleven years old - and recently completed eleventh grade. Over the summer, she plans to take college courses and (unhappily) tutor Stanford, a boy who drives her up a wall. Her mother, thinking she needs more of a social life with kids her own age, enrolls her in a summer volleyball team. There, she meets a girl who recently moved to town and does not know of Millicent's collegiate status. What's a smart girl to do? This hilarious book teaches young kids and adults like everywhere that it is okay to be smart. Millicent may feel much older than she is, mentally, but chronologically, she is still a kid. By the end of the summer, she is a little more comfortable in her own skin and proud of who she is and what she's accomplished. Pop culture tidbit: The audio book is read by Keiko Agena, known as Lane on Gilmore Girls. I highly recommend this book to kids of all ages. (You too, parents and teachers.) Kids reading comedic realistic fiction such as the Ramona Quimby series by Beverly Cleary, the Alice McKinley series by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor or the Judy Moody series by Megan McDonald will certainly adore Millicent Min. I hope that Yee writes more tales, if not of Millicent, then of others. She has a real knack.

Summary: Interesting, but Repetitive
Review: This was an excellent book and wasn't too serious, which I like :) It's about an 11-year-old child prodigy named Millicent L. Min who isn't like a typical preteen: she takes college poetry, likes summer classes, and her best friend is her grandmother. She is her normal perfectionist self until her mom signs her up for Volleyball and she becomes friends with Emily, an enthusiastic, sometimes superficial 12 year old girl. They gradually get closer until Millicent betrays Emily by not telling her about her genius IQ and beyond-her-years education level. Then it's up to Millicent to make or break the friendship.
