NERDS: National Espionage, Rescue, and Defense Society

A band of geeks unite to find the heroes within themselves in this fun adventure for middle grade readers from the New York Times–bestselling author.

Meet the NERDS, a team of eleven-year-old super spies:

Duncan “Gluestick” Dewey: He's a paste-eater who can stick to walls. Ruby “Pufferfish” Peet: Her allergies help her detect danger and dishonesty. Heathcliff “Choppers” Hodges: He controls minds with his buckteeth. Julio “Flinch” Escala: His hyperactivity gives him super speed and strength. Matilda “Wheezer” Choi: Her inhalers enable her to fly and blast enemies. Jackson “Braceface” Jones, the new recruit: This metal mouth is the team's go-to gadget guy . . . if only he can get over becoming a NERD.

Can this team of misfits save the world from their secret headquarters in the basement of their school?

Can you read NERDS without laughing? Go ahead and try!
