NERDS

By Michael Buckley

Review by: Madeline S.

This book is thrilling with nonstop action. N.E.R.D.S.: National Espionage, Rescue, and Defense Society is the first book in the NERD series; there are five books so far. I think that this book is for people 7-13 years old.

This book is about a group of fifth grade kids who are secret agents. They attend Nathan Hale Elementary school in Arlington, Virginia, where they are constantly picked on for being nerds. How can they put up with this? Because they lead exciting secret lives!

Each member of the team has a weakness that is turned into a super power. With this super power they are given code names such as Gluestick. Every day the team disappears from class. Where do they go? Jackson Jones wants to find out. This book focuses on Jackson Jones, the newest team member. He joined the team accidentally and the other team members hate him at once. Will the school bully/popular kid/star quarterback Jackson Jones ever be included in this incredible team? Will Jackson ever figure out why the team hates him so much? And what weakness could Jackson possibly have? In addition to dealing with school bullies, the team has to save the world, this time from the evil Dr. Jigsaw. Will the team be able to defeat his evil plans? Find out in this book!
