The NERDS series combines the excitement of international espionage with
the awkwardness of elementary school as it follows the adventures of a
group of unpopular fifth graders who run a spy network from inside their
school. With the help of cutting-edge science, they transform their
nerdy qualities into incredible abilities, and the results are awesome,
inspiring--and hilarious.
This third installment in the series stars Matilda "Wheezer" Choi, the
asthmatic who can fly and kick butt courtesy of her nanobyte-enhanced
inhalers. Matilda loves pro wrestling and hates anything "girlie."
Unfortunately for Wheezer, when a former-NERD-turned-villain gets
extensive plastic surgery in order to become a cheerleader, Matilda must
swallow her pride to successfully infiltrate the squad. The villain with
pom-poms, Gerdie Baker, has created a device that opens portals to other
worlds, and if Matilda doesn't find a way to destroy it, the fates of
all the worlds will be at stake.
Praise for NERDS: The Cheerleaders of Doom
"Fans of the series will gladly recognize how the mayhem of the plot is
well matched by a surfeit of quips and general goofiness of the highest
order" -Booklist
"This series has gotten better with each book and I can't recommend it
highly enough." -Book Dads blog
