There's this myth that gifted kids are always quiet academic types with good grades, but this depicts gifted kids the way I've always known them: troublemakers with more than enough brains to figure out how to skirt the rules creatively. From the moment Leon decides that his class project is going to be a sex-ed video, you know this will be funny, unusual, and cause havoc at his high school!

This book is a hilarious quick read even for adults, though it's obviously aimed at teens. This would probably make a great present for gifted kids who haven't quite figured out how that label fits into their lives yet, though beware the results of such a gift! ( )

Eighth-grader Leon has a project in his class for gifted and talented students. Each student must make his or her own educational video to show the lower classmen. What subject do you think a hormonal teenager will choose? Of course, sex education.

Despite his wanting to see pictures of naked people, Leon wants to show the kids that puberty is normal. Hair grows, things change, you have certain urges, and everything's like a big explosion. With his friend, Anna, Leon creates an avant-garde sex ed. video, which is informative, but kind of weird.

Before showing it to the lower classmen, Leon first debuts it to his teacher, Mrs. Smollet, who finds it immoral and disgusting. Naturally, she goes to the principal, who suspends Leon. During his suspension, the townspeople debate over Leon's sex education video. Is it too graphic for sixth and seventh graders? After this huge debate will Leon be allowed to show his video and come back to school, or be expelled forever?

Adam Selzer creates a funny and enjoyable book. The characters are well-written and defined. You'll enjoy this book and laugh throughout; this is a book you don't want to miss! ( )

I enjoyed this book about a boy who makes an avant garde film in 8th grade on sex ed. It featured pictures from classic artists of naked people so he gets suspended from school. Good book for higher-level ms reader. ( )
