Mark the Genius

By Sandra Agwu

Mark is a very talented and intelligent young student. At school his friends are Lucy, Michael and Tim. All of the other pupils, and even some of the teachers, look to Mark when various problems arise. But being a genius is not always plain sailing: it has its downsides too.

Mark the Genius is a book about school, containing an important first-hand account of the best days of our lives. It reminds us of a time when dreams, hopes and aspirations are filled with the idea of nothing more than “games for homework, games instead of lessons and a trip to the park for break time?”

Sandra Agwu lives and goes to school in Co. Kerry. She enjoys reading, writing and playing the piano. She is just eight years old but what she has written offers a wealth of experience. Reading it, you will soon see why.

She is currently working on a second instalment of school life adventures. It goes by the working title of Bob the Bully.
