It seemed so logical at first. Fourteen-year-old Lenny Cyrus had loved Zooey Andrews since third grade. All the boy genius needed to do to win her heart, surely, was shrink down to the size of an amoeba, ooze into a gelatin capsule, and have his friend Harlan slip it (him!) into Zooey’s Diet Coke. Told in three voices, this fantastical middle grade novel takes Lenny deep into Zooey’s loud, splashing innards, where a talking astrovirus named Astro has a bad attitude about white blood cells (“self-righteous pus-bags”) and aromatic hormones disco dance. The question is, will Lenny and Zooey survive his crazy experiment in nanotechnology?

In Lenny Cyrus School Virus Lenny Cyrus shrinks himself down to a microscopic level trying to prove that he can do something that nobody else has done before and that completely breaks all laws of physics, to his parents who are both Nobel Prize winners. Lenny goes inside Zooey Andrews’s body and gets stuck in there for six hours with a virus named Astro. He meets a steroid called Lug and turns him into a caffeine molecule eventually every steroid wants to be turned into a caffeine molecule too. After a while of watching how Lenny did it, they all learn how to do it themselves and every one turns itself into a caffeine molecule; completely disrupting things. When Lenny makes it up to Zooeys brain he makes it across the blood brain barrier but leaves a hole letting a virus get into her brain. The virus, starts slowly eating away at all her white blood cells and slowly killing her in the process. In the meanwhile Zooeys putting on a play that she’s been working on for two years and cant afford to get sick now. I think that this book is an okay book. Although its cover doesn’t look as good as it could have been, and the title isn’t the best either, the book isn't as bad as it seems when you first look at it.

This book is funny, thrilling, and adventurous. I really liked this book because it helped me learn things in a cool way even though it didn't seem as if the author was trying to teach you something. For example, I learned about the human body. This book is amazing.

I really liked this book. I love the author (Joe Schreiber) because his last book au revoir crazy european chick because it was so different. This book did not disappoint, again it is so different than any book, it was about a boy who turns microscopic to get into his long-time crush's heart. Its funny and entertaining, something i would recommend to all my friends.

This is great book about a boy who's thirteen and a total geek. He can memorize an entire college textbook in less than an hour!!! His name? Lenny Cyrus. How far might a boy go to get a girl he has a crush on to like him? Well, if you are Lenny, into your crushes body! He decides to try to get Zooey, the girl he likes, to like him back by shrinking himself down to a microscopic size and actually traveling into her brain to convince her. But something goes wrong and Zooey's body goes into a sort of lock-down. Can Lenny Cyrus save her before time runs out? Well you just have to read this book to find out! This funny adventure book is great for both boys and girls. Its great for middle school students but even good fourth and fifth grade readers will enjoy it.
