The excitement of international espionage combined with the awkwardness of the tween years makes for nonstop laughs in National Espionage, Rescue, and Defense Society--NERDS--the first book in the hilarious series from New York Times bestselling author Michael Buckley

If you're looking for a funny illustrated series to enjoy alongside favorites such as Dog Man, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and The Last Kids on Earth books, NERDS delivers!

Meet the NERDS, a team of 11-year-old super spies:
* Duncan "Gluestick" Dewey: He's a paste-eater who can stick to walls.
* Ruby "Pufferfish" Peet: Her allergies help her detect danger and dishonesty.
* Heathcliff "Choppers" Hodges: He controls minds with his buckteeth.
* Julio "Flinch" Escala: His hyperactivity gives him super speed and strength.
* Matilda "Wheezer" Choi: Her inhalers enable her to fly and blast enemies.
* Jackson "Braceface" Jones, the new recruit. This metal mouth is the team's go-to gadget guy . . . if only he can get over becoming a NERD.

Can this team of misfits save the world from their secret headquarters in the basement of their school? Can you read NERDS without laughing? Go ahead and try!
