Albright's Discovery A R Bearcluff

Noah Albright has a mind for science and heart for diplomacy. He can both expertly hack the world's most secure computers and tame the terrible school bully. It's no wonder he achieved the highest score ever on the entrance exam for the Praeter-Hampton School-a covert and exclusive high school training tomorrow's leaders in STEM and politics. Not bad for a seventh-grader. A sci-fi novel skirting upper middle grade and young adult fiction, Albright's First Law places its twelve-year old protagonist at the center of a murder investigation when one of the teachers from his school is mysteriously killed. He assists in solving the crime while also dealing with being away from his parents for the first time, interacting with his nemesis who has information vital to the investigation, living up to an unwanted reputation as the brilliant top scorer, and learning startling secrets about the universe and himself.
