## Dedication

Unknown, possibly "*To the children who will inherit this earth and make it a far better place than we did.* -- James Patterson and Chris Grabenstein"

## Plot

Max Einstein is “the smartest girl in the world.” But is she smart enough to solve the globe’s most pressing problems?

The child genius is in hiding in New York City, and she’s bored out of her mind. The leader of a group of child geniuses that work for the Change Makers Institute, Max normally spends her time traveling around the world trying to solve the Earth’s most devastating problems. But after the evil Dr. Zimm, founder and leader of the nefarious organization called the Corp, tried to kidnap her in series opener *The Genius Experiment* (2018), she was forced to go into hiding. When her friend and fellow genius Siobhan asks Max to join her on a mission to Siobhan’s home country of Ireland, where water contamination is making Siobhan’s family and friends sick, Max finally gets a chance to get back in the game. But as she travels from Ireland to India with her group of friends, trying to solve water-contamination and -shortage issues, she’s also running away from the Corp, a reality that makes Max wonder if her presence on the team—and the solutions she devises—are doing more harm than good. This fast-paced story features a diverse team of protagonists that realistically tackles some of the world’s most pressing social-justice issues. While it is mostly entertaining, the insertion of scientific principles and ethical considerations often feels out of place and heavy handed, and some of the details included about India are incorrect. -- Kirkus Reviews

## Preview

**Max Einstein was miserable, doing her least favorite** thing in the world: NOTHING!

*The world's not gonna save itself!* she thought.

Yes, she knew there were dangers lurking around every corner, especially after her successful adventure in Africa. But she was tired of following orders. Of "lying low" and "playing it safe". She had to get out of the room that was starting to feel more and more like a prison--complete with guards, who were stationed in the room across the hall, trying their best to disappear, which was extremely hard to do when you were a pair of six-foot-tall bodybuilders in tight-fitting suits.

Okay, to be fair, they were Max's bodyguards, there to protect her from the Corp--a dangerous group of evildoers that would do anything to get their hands on who they considered the smartest girl in the world. But still. Max hadn't asked for them. They were Ben's idea. Ben worried a lot, especially for a fourteen year old billionaire. (Yeah.)
