Michael Buckley will be here tonight at 5:00 p.m. (1700 if you are a NERD) to sign the top secret document NERDS, the first book in his new series about children who work as spies for the United States government. A Former NERD himself, Buckley now writes children’s books, such as the Sisters Grimm Series, and television programs. NERDS is a great book for late elementary/middle school aged guys and girls alike. Even as an adult, I had a lot of fun with this top secret file.
Meet Jackson Jones, former popular kid turned nerd when he was forced to get braces. Star athlete, teacher’s favorite, school bully. Now, because of a little bit of metal in his mouth, he has been ostracized and abandoned by all who once though he was the best thing since sliced bread. With all that free time, Jackson becomes a snoop, an amateur spy if you will, and not only finds out that everyone has a secret, but also that even the Nathan Hale Elementary School holds a secret: it is the base for a top secret group of spies called NERDS (National Espionage, Rescue, and Defense Society). As Jackson becomes a member of this group, he gets to know the other member, whose names I cannot publish on the Internet, but their code names are Gluestick, Wheezer, Choppers, Flinch, and their leader, Pufferfish.
That’s all I can tell you right now if I want to live, but as I said before, former agent Buckley, Codename Beanpole, will be here to sign this exciting book at 5:00. And you never know, he might answer questions about becoming a NERD.
