Geek Guardians: Recess Revolution Michael Fry

Join oddball outsiders Nick, Molly, and Karl in a hilarious middle-school illustrated novel adventure full of awkwardness and missteps as they strive to be seen in a world that would prefer they stay invisible.

Nick is the shortest seventh-grader in the history of the world (he's pretty sure), he doesn't fit in with any groups or clubs (who needs 'em?), and he spends more time inside than outside his locker (they're roomier than you'd think). Things only get worse when a well intentioned guidance counselor forces Nick to join the school's lamest club--along with fellow misfits Molly and Karl--in her quest to cure all three of their "peer allergies." What starts off as a reluctant band of hopeless oddballs morphs into an effective and empowered team ready to face whatever middle school throws at them, including bullies, awkward romance, zany adults, and a brave new world of surprising friendships. Renowned cartoonist Michael Fry brings an unforgettable cast of characters to life in this illustrated novel brimming with honesty, humor, and heart.
