From the Publisher:
After swallowing a pill-sized computer that finds its way into his brain, Jeremy Heere's geeky existence comes to a sudden end after the computer provides him the necessary guidance he needs to become the most popular kid in school and get the girl of his dreams. Reprint.Jeremy Heere is your average high school dork. Day after day, he stares at beautiful Christine, the girl he can never have, and dryly notes the small humiliations that come his way. Until the day he learns about the "squip." A pill-sized supercomputer that you swallow, the squip is guaranteed to bring you whatever you most desire in life. By instructing him on everything from what to wear, to how to talk and walk, the squip transforms Jeremy from Supergeek to superchic. |
Praise
New York Times Book Review
"The concept is original enough, but the fun comes in the execution, particularly in the dialogues between Jeremy and his wisecracking electronic mentor." - Simon Rodberg 05/16/2004 Publishers Weekly
"Vizzini gives a fresh twist to familiar messages about being loyal to one's friends and true to oneself, thanks to the over-the-top plot and tangy narrative. Readers grappling with their own social status will appreciate the fact that while the notion of coolness may be satirized her, it's certainly not demonized or dismissed." 06/28/2004
