Annotation: Jessie is about to start sophomore year in high school. For her, that means losing her two best friends to the punk scene, having her crush stolen by her best friend, and transforming into a nerd. But will she discover that sometimes nerds can be cooler than punk poseur wannabes? Can Dungeons and Dragons be more fun than a punk core party? Jessie is going to find out. She's going into the wild nerd yonder.
Convince us to read the book: I would say that it is a hilarious story of a girl's transformation from loser nobody to awesome nerd. And that nerd isn't used in a bad way except by the people who aren't good.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: The most compelling aspect in my opinion is that this happens all the time. People go through phases in high school, and some stick.
