The Genius Factor is Paul Tobin’s middle-grade prose series, published between 2016 and 2018. The three books follow Nate Bannister, a sixth-grader who happens to be one of the smartest people on Earth. His inventions – from invisible cats to robot bees to weather-controlling devices – work perfectly until they do not, creating problems that only more genius can solve.
The titles alone signal the fun: How to Capture an Invisible Cat, How to Outsmart a Billion Robot Bees, and How to Tame a Human Tornado. Tobin brings his comics-honed sense of pacing and humor to prose fiction aimed at younger readers.
