NERDS 5: Attack of the Bullies

309 pp. | Abrams/Amulet | September, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4197-0857-2 $15.95
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Ethen Beavers. When the president's daughter is kidnapped by the villainous Miss Information, the NERDS--tweenage secret agents whose nerdy weaknesses have been transformed into superpowers--take the case, leading to time-travel one-upmanship. The winkingly cheesy jokes, escalating action, and comics-style illustrations make for a rollicking read, but this installment's humor sometimes crosses the line from self-deprecating to mean-spirited, a tonal misstep.
