Geektastic: Stories from the Nerd Herd

403 pp. | Little | August, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-316-00809-9 $16.99
(2) YA Illustrated by Hope Larson & Bryan Lee O'Malley. This short story collection celebrates all things nerd, capturing the obsession, alienation, anachronism, and intellectualism of what it means to embrace geekdom. M. T. Anderson's contemplative "The King of Pelinesse" and Scott Westerfeld's hard-boiled "Definitional Chaos" are standouts; one-page "How to..." comics separate each story. Exploration of universal themes in original settings brings infectious enthusiasm to what is obviously a cherished topic.
