I AM looking for a Daily Echo reader who was once a child genius!

A real child genius – the kind who was taking exams years ahead of the other kids, especially if they were tutored by their parents.

I am working on a new children’s adventure novel which features a ten-year-old genius, and although I like to think I am clever, I have to admit I am no genius myself.

It would be fantastic to hear about the experiences of the real thing, now adult and able to look back and talk about the ups and downs of being super-bright.

If you can help I would be delighted for hear from you at ali@alisparkes.com .
