This book is amazing! It follows a girl named Olivia Bean, who is a trivia geek and also loves Jeopardy !. Her parents are divorced, and all she wants is to meet her biological dad again, and not get annoyed by Neil, her mom’s new husband. Suddenly, she gets the chance of a lifetime, a way to be on Jeopardy! itself. Olivia trues our and breezes through the auditions, with the help of her frenemy, Tucker Thomas, and her family. The actual Jeopardy! game is held near where her dad lives. Olivia wants him to go badly, but will he love her enough to actually make it? I recommend this book to anyone with divorced parents, and I hope you’ll like it too!:D

Readers who loved The Fourteenth Goldfish will cheer for Olivia Bean as she strives to win kids’ week Jeopardy!
Olivia Bean knows trivia. She watches Jeopardy! every night and usually beats at least one of the contestants. If she were better at geography, she would try out for the show’s kids’ week. Not only could she win bundles of money, she’d get to go to the taping in California, where her dad, who left two years ago and who Olivia misses like crazy, lives with his new family. One day Olivia’s friend-turned-nemesis, Tucker, offers to help her bulk up her geography knowledge. Before Olivia knows it, she’s getting help from all sorts of unexpected sources: her almost-stepdad, super-annoying Neil; her genius little brother, Charlie; even her stressed-out mom. But will the one person she wants to impress more than anyone else show up to support her?
