NERDS combines all the excitement of international espionage with all the awkwardness of elementary school, and the results are hilarious. A group of unpopular fifth graders run a spy network from inside their school. With the help of cutting-edge science, they transform their nerdy qualities into incredible abilities! Their enemies? An array of James BondΓ»style villains, each with an evil plan more diabolical and more ridiculous than the last. Publishers Weekly raved: Buckley has a flair for exaggerated humor. School Library Journal said: Funny, clever, and thoroughly entertaining.
