Every since Lucy was struck by lightning when she was younger she has been a mathematical genius. She loves math and has all sorts of "friends" in her online math groups. But, she also has some quirks - OCD behaviors. She has been homeschool for a long time but now her Nana is forcing her to go to middle school - make real friends, adjust, be "normal"
Lucy is very hesitant and works really hard at fitting in - don't let anyone know she's a genius, wear the right clothes, etc but it is hard. She is fortunate enough to make a few friends and as a group they find a community service project to work on. But when one of her friends betrays her trust and the one dog that she has tried so hard not to love is in danger of being put down, Lucy realizes that her calculations about life are not adding up.
While there are familiar themes this book has enough freshness to make it enjoyable.
