Things are changing fast. Jessie needs new friends. And her quest is a hilarious tour through high school clique-dom, with a surprising stop along the way--the Dungeons and Dragons crowd, who out-nerd everyone. Will hanging out with them make her a nerd, too? And could she really be crushing on a guy with too-short pants and too-white gym shoes?
If you go into the wild nerd yonder, can you ever come back?
A good coming of age story that makes Nerd take on a whole new meaning. It was realistic that Jessie struggled with wanting to be herself, but yet worrying about how she will be accepted and where she fits in. Julie Halpern delivers a funny, well-written book.

Sounds like a great light read! Love the title.
I can't remember if I commented on this or note yet :). I generally like a coming of age story, so I'll put this one on my radar.
The cover is very charming.
Hi Nise, This is my first time visiting your blog and gurl you have a very inspiring blog I feel following from now on. I enjoy reading reviews and different ideas of what next I should look to read and spend a worthwhile time reading. I know nothing about this author or this book and I have added it to my list I will be borrowing from the library. I was also thinking of getting "Becoming Lucy" and I migth as well add it to my list after seeing your review. Thanks again...
I like the sound of this one and love that cover!!!
LOL! I'm a nerd and proud of it.
Your blog looks AWESOME!!!!
Great job Nise'!!!! I really like it.
Oh yes, and this sounds like an excellent book as well. Love the title :)
Just the title alone made me laugh.
I started this book but had to return it before I was able to finish! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
