Description

Book 1 in a post-apocalyptic diary fiction odyssey!

Waddle Jr. High has become a dystopian outpost with divided cliques—Pepville, Jockstown, Staffland, and even Geekdom. Society may be in danger but middle school must go on. Enter geeky Tip and all his friends: easy-to-blush Owen, coding master Xennipher, and brilliant, dependable Mindy, who've all had enough of being bullied and decide to take a stand. Together, they form a secret vigilante group: the League of Average Mediocre Entities, better known as LAME. With everything that’s going on in the world, their school could use a few heroes. And what if those heroes were geeked-up superheroes? Get ready. Better yet, get LAME!

This irrepressible spoof series is full of the same clever humor and hilarious cartoon illustrations as the Creature From My Closet series, but for a slightly older middle-grade audience.

This has Common Core connections.

Praise for Geeked Out: A Lame New World

"Dystopia meets “Wimpy Kid” in this mash-up. . . Hand Skye’s latest to the crowd that appreciates Janet Tashjian’s “MyLife As A…” series, or any kid who craves comic-style illustrations and slapstick, laugh-out-loud humor."--School Library Journal
