Things you need to know about our friend Lenny Cyrus.

He's a total genius.

He's thirteen.

He can memorize an entire college text book in an hour or less.

He can swim laps in a Petri dish.

Yes, I repeat: he can swim laps in a Petri dish. As part of a break-through science experiment in cutting edge nanotechnology, Lenny Cyrus shrinks himself down to the size of an amoeba for six hours and has his friend Harlan secretly inject him into Zooey Andrews, the girl that Lenny has a crush on, in hopes of convincing her to like him. "If I can get to her brain, I can literally change her mind!" But once he's inside Zooey, microscopic Lenny discovers that girls are even harder to understand from the inside. In fact, the human body is just like the student body -- he gets pushed around, intimidated, and almost expelled. Zooey's blood cells treat him like some kind of disease, and her hormones are even harder to deal with when they seem twenty feet tall. The worst part comes when Lenny inadvertently triggers an infection in Zooey's brain, and her whole body goes into lockdown. Can Lenny rescue Zooey before his time is up? Lenny Cyrus is determined to find his way into Zooey's heart. Literally.

Industry Reviews

The action is fast, furious, and even funny for middle-schoolers with strong stomachs and fond memories of similar journeys on Ms. Frizzle's Magic School Bus.
--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Schreiber alternates among Lenny, Harlan, and Zooey's perspectives in short, taut, action-packed chapters with cliffhanger endings.
--Publishers Weekly

There is so much here to enjoy.
--Kirkus

With perfect timing, the story slides between typical middle-school scenes and Lenny's fantastic microscopic journey, balancing clever, wise-guy repartee with gut-wrenching tension.
