Evil Genius

M'kay. I am reading a book called Evil Genius, by Catherine Jinks. It is about a boy named Cadel, (who is unfortunately blond and blue-eyed, like every other character in every other book everywhere) and he is a super genius. His father is an evil scientist who once planned to destroy all of the "inferior" people, leaving behind only the few people in possesion of "supergenes" before he was thrown in prison. Haha. Cadel goes to a college made by him called the Axis Institute, where he learns the art of evil-ness. Lying, disguise, forgery, and all that other good stuff. But he is beginning to have some doubts about the school. You'll have to read it to find out what else happens. But not right now, because I have the only copy.
