What could be more pathetic than that?” That’s the description Maureen gives of herself. She is a nerd girl. And one day she stands up to the Popular Perfect Pretty Girls in her school and forever seals her fate as a nerd. She’s not alone, however. She has two new “friends” in Allergy Alice and Barbara. Suddenly, by uniting, these three nerd girls could just take on the Popular Pretty perfect and undoubtedly mean girls of the school and reclaim some self-dignity. Can the Nerd Girls take the Popular Girls? You’ll sure hope so in this roller coaster ride of a book. (Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Award nominee, 2014)
