Chronicles of a Brainiac — Joe Abbate

Mark Dibble has a problem: Danny Lupo, the school bully, is after him. On top of that, he stinks at sports; and he is invisible to all the girls. Make that Mark Dibble has LOTS of problems. To escape yet another beating, Mark ducks into a magic shop to hide, where he reluctantly gets dragged into the world of magic spells, charms and enchanted objects. Will Mark be able to use his new powers to turn his life around; or will the math and science nerd be doomed to fulfill his destiny, the Noogie Hall of Fame?
