I haven't read them, but the <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6455548-nerds" rel="nofollow">NERDS</a> series is pretty popular with the MG boys at my library. I think I heard there's going to be a movie based on them coming out soon.Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-33784227135370951982012-02-09T19:57:55.213-05:002012-02-09T19:57:55.213-05:00I am so not a baseball fan(or ANY sports), so if I...I am so not a baseball fan(or ANY sports), so if I could tolerate the baseball parts, then you should be ok :) I hope you and your son like it!Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-19188323715283580422012-02-09T19:56:53.766-05:002012-02-09T19:56:53.766-05:00I like my contemporaries with a good dose of humor...I like my contemporaries with a good dose of humor, and humor and SERIOUS ISSUES don't really go together very well (or, at least not without raising some eyebrows!)

Sounds so fun. I am sure my little guy will enjoy it when he is a bit older. Baseball filller well it could be worse.

Now he's got another one and I'm doing backpack checks to make sure it doesn't leave the house. You know which one I'm talking about.<br />So I haven't read Bk2, but you did a great job not giving away any spoilers. I'll fight you for Mac if I was in middle school. Actually, I'd probably just stammer and blush. He's so cool and he doesn't even know it.<br />You got it all right. If I was your library, I'd order two of each, they'll get worn out fast! I hope there will be a third. <br />Great Review, Small!<br /><br />HeatherBURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-60040793236816488762012-02-07T00:42:08.533-05:002012-02-07T00:42:08.533-05:00I was wondering what this book was about as I saw ...I was wondering what this book was about as I saw it pop up in a few places.
