Xan Anderson: The Complete Adventures

Eleven-year-old Xan Anderson can calculate the exact speed of the Earth's rotation, reverse-engineer a jetpack, and deduce her family's entire cross-country move before her dad even finishes his sentence. The one thing she cannot do, at least not yet, is figure out people.

When a new job uproots Xan to Minneapolis and drops her into dreaded Mrs. Kermughent's class instead of the gifted track she was promised, her carefully ordered world tips into the thing she hates most: chaos. Then she meets Oliver on the school bus, and suddenly her equations have a variable she never planned for. A friend.

Across three stories, Xan dreams up impossible machines, launches a real company called Xanworks and Olive, Inc., and slowly discovers that being brilliant and being kind were never opposites. Her toughest invention of all turns out to be learning to love herself, exactly as she is.

Funny, big-hearted, and quietly wise, this collected edition follows one unforgettable young inventor who learns there is more to life than inventing.
