Book Cover & Preview Text
Once home, Nigel would cry to his mother explaining how mean the kids were to him at school. Nigel wished that he wasn't so smart and maybe then the kids at school would like him. Nigel's mom prayed with Nigel daily explaining that the only reason the kids made fun of him was because they were envious and wished they could be as smart as he was.
Nigel found that very hard to believe and so every night before he went to sleep he would pray to God to make him not so smart, but every morning when he awakened nothing changed, he was still smart.
