Becky Bexley the child genius goes to university at a much younger age than most people do. She copes with the coursework, but has a few unexpected difficulties. Things begin well, as she makes friends she has fun with, and finds herself giving one of her psychology tutors some psychological help. She has a laugh working on a local community radio station with other students, and interviews the brother of a founder member of the pop group Fleetwood Mac.

Even from the moment she was born, it was clear that Becky Bexley was not like other children. Her family were shocked by her behaviour! Just a few years later, she's in secondary school, often seeming wiser than her teachers. She does her best to help people, whether they like it or not. Thankfully, they often do.

Child genius Becky Bexley helps to organise a lot of fun at the university she studies at, including a humorous game in front of an audience for charity. She also turns out to have a talent for stand-up comedy, surprising perhaps, since she's only about eleven. Alcohol comes up for discussion one day as students talk about embarrassing things they did while drunk and the harmful effects of alcohol on the body, while Becky mostly listens in.

In this mix of serious topics and humour, Becky Bexley is in her second year of university, at the age when most children are just starting secondary school. She does voluntary work for a new blind student called Barbara who needs people to read her study material to her. They strike up a friendship, often have a laugh together, and Becky meets her brother and some of her disabled friends. They all tell her about their experiences of living with disabilities, a few of them amusing.

Mischievous and precocious, Becky Bexley causes havoc and hilarity. This child genius talks from birth, starts school at just one, embarrasses herteachers, plays tricks, writes naughty poems and even disrupts church services. You'll love Becky ... sometimes, laugh at her antics, and sympathise with her poor mum.
