Into the Wild Nerd Yonder...


Jessie just started her sophomore year in high school, and had planned on spending it the same way as previous years: hanging out with her best friends Bizza and Char, sewing funny skirts, hanging out with her cool older brother and listening to audiobooks. However, her friends have both gone "punk" over the summer, and suddenly only care about shopping at Hot Topic and flirting with her brother's bandmates. After Bizza starts going after Jessie's longtime crush, it seems like it may be time for Jessie to seek out new friends. When she finds herself oddly drawn to the weird girl in class who makes up her own language, and the boy with too-short pants who plays Dungeons and Dragons, she wonders if she has found her group... but will liking nerds mean she's a nerd, too? Is Jessie prepared to join their ranks and head Into the Wild Nerd Yonder? Find out in this hilarious novel by Julie Halpern that takes on the weird world of high school cliques.
