This is classic Heinlein - great read! I first read this when I was in high school, and have read it again and again!

A true classic from RAH, written as a "juvenile" book but is a good read for anyone.
Juvenile fiction by Robert A. Heinlein, "the father of science fiction". This is the story of a teenage girl who is plagued by her genius little brother. Quite amusing.
