Praise for Genius: The Game:
"There is simply too much here to like. . . . Gout's characters are
believable and immensely likable and their friendship serves as a
delightful and realistic anchor amid the fast-moving chaos. Science
and technology may take center stage in Gout's fictional Game, but it's
the less flashy craft of writing that sells the story." --The New
York Times
"Strong characters who show their bravery throughout, friendships that
do not falter, and ethics that do not fail, even when characters are
faced with the impossible, are a refreshing change to most teenage
novels. Readers will be caught up in the brilliance of the three
characters and be surprised at the many twists and turns that they must
confront. A gripping must-have." --School Library Journal, starred
review
A fast-moving story that presents its protagonists with intriguing
moral choices -- Publishers Weekly
