- Commended for Moonbeam Children's Book Award (Comic/Graphic Novel) 2012
Overview
It's October, and Aldo thinks he's Einstein. Gloating over his epic first-quarter grades and test scores, he even decides to dress as the iconic scientist for Halloween. But his bubble bursts when he realizes he's not living up to expectations in one class, Espaol, and that the consequences may be more hurtful than a bad grade on a report card. Is Aldo's friendship with his bilingual best friend, Jack, at stake? Egghead is, in part, an homage to Madeleine L'Engle's classic children's novel A Wrinkle in Time, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2012. It was a dark and stormy night... Look for enigmatic, eclairs, eureka and lots more fun, challenging ""E"" words used throughout Egghead!

Reviews
Greg Heffley and Ellie McDoodle, move over--Aldo Zelnick is here! --Mary Lee Hahn, 4th grade teacher and notable children's books committee chair for the National Council of the Teachers of English One of the most remarkable things about these books is the voice of Aldo, which rings true from every page. The hilarious drawings enhance the text with jokes and visual humor that make Aldo's personality pop. --Rebecca McGregor, Picture Literacy, Inc. This is a book that definitely speaks 'kid speak.' The first installment of an A-to-Z series, this is perfect for reluctant readers. It's fun for kids and will be appreciated by parents and teachers for the amusing 'back door' approach to enriching vocabulary. Look out Wimpy Kid! --Stacy Morris, Katy Budget Books, Kids' Next Winter 2010-2011 nomination
