I am A Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I Want To Be Your Class President

IAAGOUEAIWTBYCP is a complex book that is strangely realistic in its description of a public middle school. Slightly less realistic is its description of a fat, genius pre-teen billionaire who conducts his business through other, older people. He decides where to invest, what to buy, with whom to meet and other, billionairy things like that. He also has the school rigged to suit all of his needs, like lockers that are actually doors into secret expensive looking rooms complete with elderly British butlers, seats on the bus that can warm up, vibrate or dispense snacks and bodyguards trained around the school to attack those who bully him, either with blow darts or a well aimed dodge-ball. The only thing that's wrong with his life is his dad. An pompous, arrogant man who sells things on T.V, he thinks of his son as an incompetent loser and himself as God's gift to the world. So when his father announces that he was class president, he decides to become one himself... no matter how much money he has to spend.

Alanna

Alanna is about a girl in another world where magic, gods and sorcery are very real. This world is defended from evil wizards, sorcerers and demons by the valiant knights of various kingdoms led by various kings, counts and dukes. Alanna and her twin brother are complete opposites. Her brother uses his mind to guide him, depending on his brains to solve every problem he has. He has the potential to be a sorcerer of fantastic power, but his father has enrolled him in a training area where he will become a knight eventually. But he hates violence and can't fight to save his life! Alanna is a different story. Strong, fierce, with a talent in battle and a good set of smarts, all she has ever wanted is to be a knight. But her father has enrolled her in a school high in the mountains where she will learn magic and other things more suited for a woman. No knight has ever been a woman before in history. But when Alanna comes up with a brilliant plan to disguise herself as her twin brother, and go to knight school in his place while he goes to learn magic in hers, neither of them have the faintest clue that Alanna becoming a knight will change their world forever... but not before she goes through a series of wild adventures as a trainee that might possibly save her kingdom.
