Nerd Girls: The Rise of the Dorkasaurus

(4) YA Three nerdy eighth graders--Maureen, Alice, and Barbara--form an alliance to take down the popular mean-girls of Grover Park Middle School. Their plan: win first prize in the annual talent show and upset the social rankings. What begins as a no-strings-attached pact blossoms into long-lasting friendship. In this self-acceptance story, Maureen's humorous voice (heavy on the sarcasm) helps distract from the caricature-heavy cast.
