"Dystopia meets Wimpy Kid in this mash-up."—School Library Journal
Obert Skye's Bigger, Badder, Nerdier is the second book in the post-apocalyptic parody Geeked Out series!
Otto Waddle Junior High School is worse than ever. Tip and his geeky friends have finally come into their superpowers—well, their mediocre powers—and now have a whole new cast of impersonators to take on. Their foursome is being challenged by a rival group of students who are pawns in Darth Susan's evil plot against them. If middle school has any chance of survival, Tip and his friends must take their unusual powers to a whole new level and nerd things up big time.

Gr 4-7-The League of Average and Mediocre Entities (LAME) is back, this time going up against enemies that are LAMER: four jocks masquerading as our medium-powered heroes. But wait-why would anyone want to be LAME? Not surprisingly, the shadowy figure behind the plot is their nemesis Darth Susan, still looking to bring about the closure of Otto Waddle Jr. High and thus her own early retirement. As the kids track down the clues and lay their plans to thwart Darth Susan, they have no idea that they could actually be saving the entire town of Piggsburg from destruction. As in the first entry, readers looking for character development (or even a substantial plot) should look elsewhere. However, for the students who read Jeff Kinney's "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" exclusively, this dystopian riff on funny stories with simple cartoon illustrations will provide a diversion without breaking the bounds of the genre. VERDICT Purchase where the first volume is popular or where funny, illustrated fiction flies off the shelves.-Elizabeth Friend, Wester Middle School, TX
