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

True to the billing, this book is about an underage evil genius seeking election in school office.  The twist is that he is attempting to do so while concealing his intellect, so as not to blow his cover as the 3rd richest person in the world.  To his classmates, parents, and all but a few of his most trusted employees, Oliver comes across about as smart as a happy cow.  Behind the scenes he is cruel, narcissistic, and ruthless in his pursuits.

Everything about the story is over-the-top.  The boy began his evil plotting in early infancy.  He trained his dog to answer dozens of ridiculously specific commands spoken only in Basque.  He overthrows dictators for Star Wars toys.  If it weren't so unbelievable I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much as I did.  There is no option except to suspend disbelief and go along for the ride.  Josh Lieb's book is a good read for those who are tired of the usual teen fantasies and problem novels.  It's good curmudgeonry and fine escapism.
