Burlingame Patch's Whiz Kid of the Week:

Anthony Curcini

Age:13

School: Burlingame Intermediate School

Whiz Kid's Accomplishment: Anthony is writing a science fiction book.

Whiz Kid's Key to Awesomeness: Anthony is a thinker, and always asks a lot of questions. According to his father, he is not afraid to go down the road less traveled. Both his inquisitive personality and his willingness to be adventurous played into his decision to write a science fiction book—a challenge few other 13 year olds would take on. He also has a great memory, and is able to recall almost all the details from books he reads. He enjoys experiencing all the adventures life holds. Additionally, Anthony has a strong sense of family and recently wrote a school assignment about his father and their strong bond.
