Millie is supersmart. At least, she's supersmart when it comes to books and classes. Where she's not so smart is in making friends. In fact she has no friends at all - but maybe that's because Millie is 11 years old and she's just finished her junior year in High School. She's looking forward to summer, though, because she can take a college class but, sadly, only one.Then her summer take a turn for the worse - Millie's mom has signed her up for the Girls' Summer Volleyball League. What, Millie wonders, can she possibly learn from volleyball other than that she is uncoordinated and unpopular, And then to add to her anguish, she has to tutor Stanford Wong, the poster boy for Chinese geekdom and Millie's mortal enemy.
However, things are going to change this summer. Millie meets Emily, who has also been made to join the volleyball team. Together Millie and Emily bond over their mutual dislike of Coach Gown and their mutual love of ice cream. As Emily is a new girl in town she doesn't know Millie is a genius and Millie is definitely not going to tell her. In fact, she goes to some hilarious lengths to make sure that Emily doesn't find out.
Read about Millie's comical summer and find out if she can make her first real friend in Millicent Min, Girl Genius.
