Here is what people are saying about the Millicent Min, Girl Genius (Sid Fleischman Humor Award, 2004)
5 Star Rating  "Hilarious and heartbreaking"2009-10-15
- Reviewed By Jennifer Motl from Milwaukee, WI USA
This story of a briefcase-carrying 11-year-old girl struggling to find friends her own age while attending college is funny and endearing. Millicent has her share of sadness--people who use her as a tutor, loneliness, her father's struggles with her job, her mother's mysterious malady. But Millie finds strengths she never knew she had, and keeps the reader laughing all the way during her misadventures at sleepovers, on the summer volleyball team, and everywhere else she goes.
 
5 Star Rating  "Wonderful Read!"2007-11-11
- Reviewed By bookaholic from Clinton, MS
Absolutely loved this book. A great adult read - not just a kid's book. Complex, entertaining. A lot of fun and worth re-reading.
 
5 Star Rating  "Genius!"2007-04-29

Millicent Min is 11 years old, and she's just finishing up 11th grade. She begs her parents to allow her to take one college class over the summer. They agree, and everything is going fine and dandy until 1) her mom signs her up for volleyball. With sports you need more than smarts to be at the top. And 2) she is forced into tutoring her unintelligent nemesis, Stanford. But her summer just might start shaping up when she meets a new girl, someone her age - who doesn't know Millicent is a genius. Could this girl turn out to be Mil's very first friend? (Unless of course you count her grandmother....)

Funny, smart, and completely engaging, Millicent Min, Girl Genius is an intriguing coming-of-age story with a unique idea. It's a refreshing, quick read that leaves you wanting more. Author Lisa Yee has a boatload of talent. I can't wait to check out the two companion novels to this book, Stanford Wong Flunks Big Time and So Totally Emily Ebers.

Here's a quote to wet your appetite:

I like to reread books after letting a significant amount of time pass. You can't imagine what went through my mind when I first read Truman Capote's In Cold Blood when I was six. I couldn't sleep for weeks. When I read it again last year, I couldn't sleep for days. I take that as a sign that I've matured.
 
5 Star Rating  "It Isn't Easy Being Millie"2007-04-16
- Reviewed By reading often and eagerly from North Carolina, USA
Millicent Min has an impressive resume. She started elementary school at age three, has over seven television appearances to her name, and is the subject of more than six articles on the subject of gifted children. Now that she's eleven and a half, she's about to start her senior year of high school. She is, in short, a genius.



In Millicent Min, Girl Genius, Millicent must endure the summer between her junior and senior years of high school as she counts down to the day she will be free from the company of children, and finally be able to spread her wings in college. This summer, her parents have signed her up for volleyball classes and offered her services as a tutor to friend of the family and obnoxiously typical twelve-year-old boy Stanford Wong. On the upside, they've allowed her to register for a poetry class at a local university, and this summer she's made her first friend.



Millicent goes through all the difficulties of being a smart kid, and she experiences them to the extreme. Her alienation, awkwardness, and pride are all emotions with which anyone ever considered "that smart kid" can identify. Her precociousness is charming and alarming; it seems slightly wrong for a girl of almost twelve to prefer spending time with her poetry professor to attending slumber parties. At the same time, for those of us who are the same way, it seems just right.



Like many other children's and young adult books, Millicent Min, Girl Genius shows us how much change can happen over one summer. Millicent starts off knowing it all, needing no one, and socializing almost exclusively with her grandmother. By the end of the book she realizes she has a lot to learn, comes to appreciate her parents more, and starts hanging out with kids her own age. I strongly recommend Millicent Min, Girl Genius to anyone who loves to laugh, has ever felt like they knew better than the rest of the world, or has been told they're too smart for their own good.

This book is great! It's about Millicent, and what it's like to be a child genius, new friendships, growing up in life, and more! This book is awsome! It's my all-time favorite book, and I've read a ton! It's a great read!
 
5 Star Rating  "Millicent is an unusual, charming protagonist"2005-06-24
- Reviewed By An Amazon User
Millicent Min is a delightful prodigy with social incompetence. Although only eleven years old, Millie has already completed the 11th grade and is taking a summer college class. Millie's academic and sophisticated vocabulary contrasts with her childlike naïveté, which endears her to the reader. With wit and wisdom, Lisa Yee has created an unusual, charming protagonist who matures one summer with the help of a new friend, a reluctant student, and her fun-loving family who are all dealing with problems of their own.

I love Millie's voice, the way she thinks, her vocabulary, and her perfectionist habits. Lisa Yee weaves humor with a gripping emotional depth, creating a lovely work of art. In addition to Millicent, Lisa Yee must be a genius.
