Become the most amazing, awe-inspiring genius in the world in just one year*! (*No refunds given)

This book will take you from a clever (but rather ordinary) kid to an absurdly intelligent, super-brained, hyper-genius capable of anything … in just twelve magnificent months.

From fun facts about dinosaurs to everything you need to know about spiders, plus silly Shakespearean names and a deep dive into poo and snot. Have you ever wondered about the world’s pooiest places? Or which came first, the duck-billed platyupus … or the duck? This book has all the answers.
