Your report card means a lot to you, doesn’t it? To my parents, it was their ticket into their house; they weren’t allowed inside without it. Nora is a normal girl who studies in fifth grade. She likes drawing, singing, and playing soccer, as most kids her age like to do. Except that she is a genius and tries to be normal so as not to be goggled at. Nora has an older sister and an older brother. Her sister is intense, and her brother is an average boy. So it is natural that her parents would force her to bring home good grades. Nora realized at a very young age that knowledge like hers will not be accepted easily in society. So she disguises her actual talent by researching how teachers grade their students. Nora keeps her score average throughout the tests and quizzes she attempts at school. But when some students in her grade begin to think they are dim-witted and others think they are extra talented, she decides to take some serious steps. Nora makes it her target to get Ds in all her tests. Because of those Ds, her parents get mad that the school did not warn them about Nora’s poor grades. Meanwhile, the librarian at her school finds out that she had been trading emails with a primate expert at the Jane Goodall Institute and that she was enrolled in an astronomy course at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and much more. She tells the librarian everything about her being a genius. Nora manages to slip out of everyone’s reprimand, but her secret of being a genius is revealed. But with the help of her friend Stephen and the school librarian, she makes another daring plan that involves the whole school getting zeroes in all their tests and quizzes. Will this plan succeed? Grades make the lives of kids very strenuous and this book is here to explain just that.

Andrew Clements is an amazing writer. Who knew a book about school could be so interesting! There are 22 chapters in this book, and mind you, they are not very long as there are only 174 pages. I have the Kindle edition of this book, but the book is also available in paperback. I am sure you are going to love the Report Card.
