Title: Into the Wild Nerd Yonder
Author: Julie Halpern
Publisher: Fewell and Friends
Pub Date: 09/??/2009
Galley: Yes
Nominate for Teens’ Top 10: No
Recommend: Yes
Convince us to read book: Look, here's how the slightly-less-technologically-advanced half views us. Maybe this helps to explain why there are so few female nerds!
Compelling Aspect of the Book: The idea of the book is compelling, the main character is easy to relate to, and it's putting a lighter spin on high school society as a whole.
Did you finish: Yes
Were you Disappointed with the book: I wish the book had a little more sword-play and excitement (I mean, there are so many places you could add it)!
Did the cover reflect the contents: Yes and no. The green, text-laden cover was an interesting and eye catching cover. The new cover with the dress is not so good. I don't know how well a medieval style dress reflects the contents, but the cover with an excerpt was excellent and accurate.
Age Range: 12-13, 14-15, 16-17
Quality: 4Q Better than most
Popularity: 4P Broad general teen appeal
