What does it mean to be clever-really clever? I n Smarty Pants: What does it mean to be clever, JD Arden peels back the layers of "intelligence," exposing its odd history, the social pressures it brings, and the real-life joys and heartaches of being labeled smart. You'll meet geniuses who struggle, average folks with hidden brilliance, and a world still obsessed with scores and labels. This is not another book to make you feel inadequate or special-just a sharp, funny, and honest look at the messy truth of what it means to be clever. Whether you've felt out of place in a world that values the "right" answers, or you've wondered if being smart is all it's cracked up to be, this book will challenge, comfort, and entertain in equal measure.
