Description
Publisher's Description of Nick Newton: Highest Bidder
Nick Newton: The Highest Bidder is the thrilling sequel to Nick Newton Is Not a Genius. Nick, a merely average boy from the country of Thauma, has learned that you don't need to be a genius or wealthy to have amazing adventures. All you need is to keep going. So when Solomon decides to try putting Elizabeth the android back together, Nick promises to help in any way that he can. He learns many important lessons, and he dodges mechanical baby strollers, fencing sisters, and auction bids. If all goes well, he might even make a few new friends too.

We personally own a lot of these books. Many of them are among our children's all-time favorites. That's saying a lot, since my children are voracious readers. There's such variety in this line - they run the gamut from biography to fantasy, but consistently enrich. It is indisputable that every book you read becomes a little part of you. Knowing this, we want to be careful not to fill our children's heads and hearts with objectionable, disturbing or useless material. Many of our customers are Christian homeschoolers, as we are. Even among this group, parents differ in the degree of restriction or criteria they apply in selecting materials they consider appropriate for their children, depending upon their particular convictions in this area. However, we feel confident that even the most convicted parent would have no qualms about this thoroughly Christian series. While books in the Light Line have a "strong Christian message," they are not "preachy." Rather, they skillfully entertain while presenting that message, with vivid characters and strong, exciting story lines. The biographies are among the best my children have read - they have been particularly stirred by With Daring Faith, the story of missionary Amy Carmichael. Series are listed first in each section, followed by single books listed alphabetically.

Category Description for Nick Newton Series

Nick Newton comes from quite a long line of geniuses. His grandfather helped end the war with his brilliant weapons, his father and mother were both scientific geniuses, his older sister is a prodigal genius, and even his baby sister has the qualities of a genius. Nick, however, is nothing other than average, and he is quite content with his standing. His parents tried getting him into an elite intellectual school, but he was rejected by the admissions department due to his averageness. When Nick finds one of his grandfather's old and broken inventions in the attic, he decides that even though he can't invent things, maybe he could at least fix an invention with the use of his grandfather's notebook. Each time he attempts to fix it, it takes a slightly different form. Read about Nick's adventures of curiosity in this intriguing series. Though he may not be a genius, he is definitely creative and ambitious. ~ Brianna
