Welcome back to our book club! We hope all of you guys liked the book so far. Was your answer corret?

Nora Rowly is a new Albert Einstein… but doesn’t want to show her genius. So, there is no other choice but to hide it. Nora acts like an average kid… what we mean by “average” is like getting D’s on her report card. Thus making people think that she’s incompetent. She does this for a reason; she wants to show that grades aren’t important, and it makes people feel like their incapable of reaching high standards, and it makes “smart people” brag about their intelligence.

What do you think about Nora’s plan to hide her true identity?

If you want to continue with our club, start reading to chapter 12, which are pages 51-89. Meet us in our next post!

What is your rating of the book so far?

Now, let’s focus on the summary.

After the meeting, Nora takes an IQ test, missing 3 out of every 10 questions. Nora thinks she will get a C average.

Oh and before I forget, the librarian, Mrs. Bryne, is becoming her friend. It’s a little unbelievable because at the beginning, everyone thinks that she is inept. Mrs. Bryne tells her that her IQ scores were above grade level standards. Tthey think that Dr. Trindler, the guidence counsler, is planning another IQ test, thinking that the first one was a mess up.

Take time to think about these questions.

What do you think will happen next with Dr. Trindler and Nora?

Do you think Nora will…

A. Pass the test

B. Fail the test

C. Not take the test

D. All of the above :]

Thanks for participating in our book club! Now read chapters 13-18, which are pages 90-133. Join us next week for Part 4!

Did you enjoy our trivia question? What is your answer?

To continue, now that everyone knows that Nora is smart, she starts to show her true self. She acts like a smarty pants in class, and she corrects the teachers.

How disrespectful!

Then Nora suddenly starts to get 0’s on tests. After that, the principal demands an answer as to why she is “turning over a new leaf”. 

She has high expectations for Nora.

In these chapters, Nora’s mom also wants her to go to a school for geniuses.

Here is some questions for this chapter.

Why do you think Nora has changed her attitude towards being a genius? Will Nora accept to go to the school?

So next, please read chapters’ 19- End. Be the one to join us in Part 5.

What do you guys think of our club so far? 

I can’t believe that Nora’s mom found out that she got three 0’s on her tests! “Ooh! She’s in trouble!” Now, Nora has to go to a BIG meeting. There, she finds out that Stephen sends out fliers telling kids to join the rebellion and lower down their standards, by getting F’s.

Now, Nora asks to go and speak to the Blue Team, and so does Stephen.

Here is a question to think about…

What do you think happens at the end? We want to know what YOU think!

Stay tuned because we will be adding our conclusion soon enough! Join us for our conclusion. :]]

We know that Nora and Stephen make a decision talk to the Blue Team. At the meeting they discuss grades. Nora speaks her opinion of the grades. Their speech worked and they didn’t get into trouble.

Here are some questions we want you to comment on:

-Do you think the author had a purpose for this book?

-Do you believe in Nora’s decision to fight for grades?

-What is your opinion on grades?

 We hope you enjoyed reading the fantastic book!
