Steven Lane Smith’s “Caledonia Switch.” John Wesley Hardin is the smartest kid in Caledonia. He memorized the Periodic Table of the Elements in four days and people call him a genius. John’s chronic overconfidence upsets the balance between risk and reward in his decision-making. Believing that he can rescue his father’s hardware store from failure, he takes huge risks that threaten to ruin him and his family financially. Each brush with disaster emboldens him to take on even greater risks.
