Sophomore year begins with betrayal by Jessie's two best friends. Where can she find new pals? Fans of everything geek will adore Jessie's induction into the world of nerds, including Dungeons & Dragons and medieval role-playing. Her narration is the real draw: it's witty and true to character, conveying, among other things, her anxiety about joining the outcasts.
