Nora is a genius, but no one knows it. She learned very early that people would treat her differently if they knew how smart she was. So she pretends to be an average student, until the fifth grade, when something changes. Suddenly, the kids around her are obsessed with grades, and her best friend, who didn't do well on the standardized tests, has started to believe he's not as good as the kids who did well. Nora hates to see him struggle, so she decides to do something about it. Deliberately earning D grades in most of her subjects (except spelling where she messed up and earned a C), Nora is determined to prove that grades don't mean anything. Will her plan backfire?
