BUYING ADVISORY: HS - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Jeremy would like more attention - especially from Christine, a fellow actor in the school's Shakespeare play. But, he keeps a tally of all the things that make him a loser, and Christine isn't interested in him. But then he talks to Rich after rehearsal and is introduced to a supercomputer pill that if taken will sit in Jeremy's brain and assist him. for only $600 this pill will make Jeremy popular, and help him win Christine.
Based on the novel that became a Broadway musical, this is a unique story of a nerd turning his life around, and what happens when popularity becomes the main focus. Illustrated in greyscale with blue accents, the style fits a high school audience best, as does the mature content. I liked the science fiction element - a computer that takes over a characters brain. I enjoyed it.
