Speed of Dark, Elizabeth Moon (high functioning autist)
A Wrinkle in Time, Madeleine L'Engle
The Dispossessed, Ursula Le Guin
Seven Ancient Wonders, Matthew Reilly (probably closer to action than SF and the genius kid was too much of a stretch for my taste)
Really smart scientists, but perhaps not considered genius level:
Darwin's Radio, Greg Bear (possibly the sequel can go in the above list since one of the kids is a super genius)
Inherit the Stars, James P Hogan
Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton (also Prey)
Timescape, Gregory Benford
