DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn high school, people called Eli every name in the book 'nerd,' 'geek,' 'dweeb,' 'bookworm,' and even the more creative 'graham cracker legs.' But now Eli is leaving his small-town home and heading to college. He never imagines that by the end of his first year, people will be calling him a hero. When Eli takes a walk around campus on his first day, he wanders into a strange bookstore. The owner gives Eli the book of Guinness World Records and tells him that he can duplicate any feat in the book. Eli can grow his fingernails several feet long, make himself into a 1,200-pound man, or even run the hundred-meter dash in under ten seconds. The possibilities are endless, and Eli, the nerdy kid who never stood out, now has the power to make a real difference in the world. But it isn't long before Eli's good luck runs out. He discovers that his roommate is dealing drugs to students and kids. When Eli's roommate finds out that Eli is using his new powers to disrupt his drug business, he kidnaps Eli's best friend and high school crush to lure Eli into a trap. Using no superpowers, only the potential of real people from the Guinness book, Eli must do whatever it takes to rescue his friend, bring down a drug dealer, and become The Guinness Hero.
