Book Hero thinking about your next read

The exciting new middle grade series from New York Times bestselling author Michael Buckley about misfit 5th grade spies--now in paperback.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

NERDS: National Espionage, Rescue combines all the excitement of international espionage with all the awkwardness of elementary school, and the results are hilarious. A group of unpopular fifth graders run a spy network from inside their school. With the help of cutting-edge science, they transform their nerdy qualities into incredible abilities!

Their enemies? An array of James Bond-style villains, each with an evil plan more diabolical and more ridiculous than the last.

Publishers Weekly raved: "Buckley has a flair for exaggerated humour." School Library Journal said: "Funny, clever, and thoroughly entertaining."
