The Cheerleaders of Doom (NERDS Book Three)
· Length: 5 hrs and 29 mins
· Release date: 10-27-11
The excitement of international espionage combined with the awkwardness of elementary makes for non-stop laughs.
A former NERDS team member named Gerdie (code name Mathlete) has invented a powerful device that she’s using to loot alternate realities. Her goal? Plastic surgery and a spot on a competitive cheerleading squad. Gerdie’s device is causing rips in the fabric of the universe. With her new face, no one can find her. It’s up to Matilda “Wheezer” Choi to infiltrate the cheerleading squad and root out the villain. But can she give up punches and pro wrestling for claps and cartwheels?
Fans of the series will gladly recognize how the mayhem of the plot is well matched by a surfeit of quips and general goofiness of the highest order.
The Villain Virus (NERDS Book Four)
· Length: 5 hrs and 11 mins
· Release date: 09-12-12
Supervillain (and former NERD) Heathcliff Hodges transformed himself into an all-powerful giant head, and now he’s unconscious in the HQ basement, where he can’t cause any more trouble . . . right?
Though Heathcliff’s knocked out, the villain population skyrockets in just a few short days. Normal people get a cold and then suddenly develop insane alter egos and come up with elaborate plans to take over the world. Even the NERDS are vulnerable to the spread of villainy—all except hyperactive Julio “Flinch” Escala. But he’s never led the team before. Can he focus on more than his next candy bar . . . and
save the world?
“Hyperactive Julio must take over leadership of the titular band of losers-turned-superheroes when he alone proves immune to a rapidly spreading supervillain virus. The book’s madcap energy and slapstick humor are a perfect fit for this entry’s comic antagonist, and series fans will be equally taken with Julio’s development as a hero and the wealth of nerdtastic details.”
Attack of the BULLIES (NERDS Book Five)
· Length: 5 hrs and 56 mins
· Release date: 10-15-13
Attack of the BULLIES stars Ruby Peet, aka Agent Pufferfish, the team captain with super nanobyte-enhanced allergies.
Pufferfish leads the team in their latest case: the kidnapping of the president’s daughter. But the NERDS discover she hasn’t been kidnapped—she’s been recruited. Their former librarian, Ms. Holiday, has started a rival organization called BULLIES, who each have their own nanobyte-enhanced upgrades. The BULLIES’ plan: go back in time to make sure NERDS never existed! When Ruby’s teammates begin to vanish one by one, she enlists Agent Brand and Heathcliff Hodges to go back to the 1970s and help the original nerdy secret agents make sure that the future is not erased from existence!
These books are real-time recordings. I hope my playing on the computer at the same time does not cause many bleeps…..
