I Am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I Want to Be Your Class President by Josh Lieb

This book is described by some as a comedy sci-fi fantasy.  Since I try hard to find things middle school boys will like, this seemed like a good bet.  I hope the boys like it because it wasn't easy for a middle-aged librarian to finish.  Twelve-year-old Oliver Watson seems to be an unpopular, bumbling, overweight 7th grader--but it turns out, he's also the world's third richest person and a bit of a supervillain.  While he plots to overthrow foreign dictators, manipulate corporate greed, and work on attaining world domination--he determines to show up his father by winning the middle school election.  This kid isn't at all likeable, but I suppose middle school boys will find this hilarious.  I did feel a little sorry for him and his desperate need for his father's approval, but I can't deny it...it was a relief when the book was over!
