Once, computer genius Cadel Piggot was going to take over the world. Now he's stuck in foster care. In this sequel to the highly-acclaimed "Evil Genius," the Axis Institute for World Domination has been blown up. Dr. Phineas Darkkon is dead. Prosper English is in jail awaiting trial. And Cadel is a boy without a country, caught in a sea of red tape, mired in foster care — until he is approached by a secret organization of other teen whiz kids whose stated goal is to bring down GenoME, one of Darkkon's pet projects. They offer Cadel a real home and all the technology his heart desires. But can they be trusted? "'Genius Squad' appeals to lovers of mystery and suspense, with compelling characters and a high-energy plot," Associate Director of Publicity Barbara Fisch of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt told TDmonthly. Launch date: May 2008.
