Mezrich, Ben Bringing Down the Mouse, 326 p. Simon, 2014.
$17. Language: G; Mature Content: G; Violence -PG.
Charlie Lewis thinks that he is pretty smart. No one
around him is better at equations than he is. His challenged, however, by
a group of kids who call themselves the Carnival Killers - their goal is to
beat every common carnival game, because they are all rigged anyway. Now
the group is moving on to bigger things, however - beating the spinning game at
Incredo Land and winning lifetime park passes. Or is there a bigger
prize? And a deeper game? Charlie had better figure it all out or
he may really hurt someone. I’ll just say it - I have no room in my life
for Ferris Bueller types - and Charlie is definitely a Ferris Bueller. If
you like books about smart aleck kids who are better than everyone around them,
then you will like this one.
