N.E.R.D.S. By: Michael Buckley


Summary:
This book captures the nerdy kid in all of us.  Read along as one boy, Jackson Jones, falls from the cool side of the school to the nerdy side.  He is relieved when he is asked to join a group of nerds unlike any other.  It is a story of true heroism and modesty that keeps you reading and rooting for the bad guy, gone good!

Follow-Up Questions:
1.  Jackson is treated poorly by the N.E.R.D.S. because of how he treated them in his former life.  Do you think these actions are fair?  Why or Why not?
2. Who was your favorite 'nerd' and why?

Extension Activities:
The best website for a book ever!! Check out secret surveillance footage.  You can also read a chapter online as well as put your name in the name generator and see what your spy name would be!!  Plus there is really cool music in the background!!

    I look forward to book 2. I cannot wait to see what these 'NERDS' do next! I went on the name generator and my code name was, 'Fastball'. I love it!
