This was an entertaining read but not quite what I expected. It comes across a little Harry Potterish and I think it might appeal to younger readers. The HIGH IQ character, Cadel while smart did not act all that ingenius to me in that he seemed rather naive and easily manipulated by the adults in his life.Then again...I suppose it's a common stereotype of genius that they have book-smarts but no common sense. Not necessarily a view I support.
