      Firebird Sneak Peek

      For Mr. Bell, the first teacher

      who treated me like I was smart.

      Chapter 1

      Mr. Black

      Hi, my name's Monkey. No, you can't call me Johnny Lovebird. Only my mom can do that, and I suppose, my teacher, Mrs. Red. I'm in fourth grade and attend Rainbow Elementary. But none of us members of the Smartboys Club call it that. We call it Chrom-El. That's short for Chromatic Elementary. Chromatic is a fun word for color.

      So, this one day I got to school late, but surprise-surprise, Mrs. Red wasn't there to write my name up on the board for being tardy.

      I slipped into my seat between Sandra and Art. I used to sit between Bean and Art, but then Sandra came along. Mrs. Red put Sandra's desk between us. Maybe Mrs. Red hoped Sandra would be a good influence on the rest of us Smartboys in the back of the room. Too bad for Mrs. Red, it turned out Sandra is a musical genius, and we made her a member of our club. The Smartboys Club is a club for geniuses. We have all kinds of geniuses.

      Art is a genius at sports and art. Bean is a genius at math and science. I'm good at math too, but even better at English and literature. We're the Smartboys, and it turns out we have two Smartgirls in the club as well. Sandra, I already told you about. And Vinny, she's a genius at math and computers.

      We use our brainy brains to solve problems and keep the school running like it should. Though Mrs. Red and Principal Green don't always appreciate our efforts. Things had been going pretty smoothly since we rescued Sandra from the janitor closet at Symphony Hall. But I had a funny feeling when I walked in that morning and Mrs. Red wasn't there, that something strange was about to happen.

      On the right side of the room, Mrs. Red's favorite students sat quietly at their desks. Vinny sits on the right with them. On the left side of the room, the average students chatted, laughed, and threw paper airplanes. In the back, Art got out a pencil and started drawing Mt. Rushmore on his desk. Sandra scribbled music notes all over a scrap of paper.

      Bean slid out of his desk, crawled to the pencil sharpener, sharpened his pencil and crawled back. He shot me a victorious smile.

      "Hey, that doesn't
