Michael Buckley is at his comic best in this madcap new series sure to appeal to kids looking for a quick, exciting read.

Combining all the excitement of international espionage and all the awkwardness of elementary school, NERDS, featuring a group of unpopular students who run a spy network from inside their school, hits the mark. With the help of cutting-edge science, their nerdy qualities are enhanced and transformed into incredible abilities! They battle the Hyena, a former junior beauty pageant contestant turned assassin, and an array of James Bond–style villains, each with an evil plan more diabolical and more ridiculous than the last.

F&P level: V

Praise for NERDS
“An action-packed, tongue-in-cheek take on the world of superheroes and villains. The pacing is quick and the action is plentiful—kids will almost hear the sound effects as they read. NERDS brings a worthy message to the fore—that uncool kids can grow up to be anything but. Funny, clever, and thoroughly entertaining, this title should be popular.”
School Library Journal

"The unique format of this book, combined with the imaginative and playful storyline, will appeal to many readers."

Kicks off the series in a great way with the most popular kid in the school joining a group of nerds after getting braces. If you love technology, read NERDS!

It is one of my favorite books, I definataly recommend it and I would totally rate 5 out of 5 stars. P.S. sorry about the bad spelling.

This book is beyond awesome!

This is the best book ever. I bought and read every book! Personally I hate reading. It's the worst thing in the world, but this book actually made me want to sneak it on to my bed and read it with a flash light. Every friday I would want to go to Barnes and Nobles to buy the next book. At the end of book 5 I almost cried cause it was the LAST book in the series.
