Synopsis
Dell Books, 1979. Mass market paperback. First published in 1959.
This science fiction novel follows a five-year-old boy named Jimmy Holden, who was given the equivalent of a college education by virtue of his parents' invention, an "Electromechanical Educator." One reviewer stated the book is "a surprisingly good story of the difficulties of the superboy in a world run by stupid adults."
