Max Einstein: The Genius Experiment Synopsis As with lots of Patterson’s children’s books, this is smart, funny and fast moving, with real heart beneath the slick packaging. If anyone’s going to save the planet it will have to be the next generation, and this book could be the inspiration they need. Max uses her imagination and compassion together to dream up ways to improve the world. The spirit of Einstein runs through this – it’s endorsed by the Einstein Archives – and in particular his belief that the imagination is more important than knowledge. Whisked away to study with other super-brainy kids, she’s challenged to bring about real change for good. Two very different groups of people have plans for Max though – the CMI (Change Makers Institute) and the equally mysterious but far more sinister Corp. She’s also an orphan who lives in a squat. Max Einstein is a genius aged 12 she’s already enrolled herself at university, where she’s careful to score perfect Cs in every test (she doesn’t want to stand out).
