Geek High: You say nerd like it’s a bad thing.

image

Sure, Miranda Bloom can calculate large sums in her head,  but being "The Human Calculator" doesn't even help her fit in at her school for "gifted" kids, because everyone else has real talents. Her best friends Charlie, an inspired painter, and Finn, a teenage millionaire computer game designer, try to help, especially when Miranda gets stuck planning an annual school dance that is typically terrible AND rejoining the competitive math team.

Geek High and its delightful sequel Geek Abroad are a great escape for summer reading.

Like Theatre? Try “Love on Cue”

 If you like High School Musical or Glee, you'll enjoy reading about these funny and realistic characters practicing for their school's latest production.

Maggie is excited about the upcoming auditions for the school play .... until the new drama teacher decides that the students should try a musical. Maggie desperately wants a part, because her secret crush is also auditioning for a role.

Singing and dancing are definintely outside of Maggie's comfort zone, but maybe with some coaching from the musically talented (and cute!) Nico, she can land the leading role!
