Meet Jake Drake He's in fourth grade and he's been crazy about computers all his life.
And so last year when the third-grade science fair was announced Jake entered the contest hoping to win the grand prize -- a supercool superfast Bluntium Twelve computer. The only problem is that he has to beat the class know-it-alls, Marsha McCall and Kevin Young, to do it.
So how can a pretty smart guy like Jake turn himself into a know-it-all and win the ultimate computer without losing his friends?
In this series by the best-selling author of Frindle, The Landry News and The Janitor's Boy, Jake Drake confronts the problems of school life and finds some surprising solutions!
