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.”

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

Nerds is a team of spies. When it comes to the word, "spies". you would imagine a bunch of highly trained adults, right? Well, this is a team consisting of KID spies. Jackson Jones, the newest recruit, has to go through a bunch of training sessions and observations to become one of the crew. But the only problem is that the kids already on the team do not like Jackson. How is he going to be a part of a team that does not accept him?
AMAZING!!!!!! ✨✨✨😛😛👍💯✔
Its so funny because a boy is having a bad time in a accent.
If your a nerd this book will show you how cool nerds can be what cool things nerd can do.
This book is super funny. I would consider myself a nerd, and its very relateable and humorous. It had me laughing out loud several times. It had a few "interactive" parts and illustrations, which kept me interested and entertained. It also contains some pretty sweet action scenes,
