The NERDS are back with more sinister villains and crazier schemes 
(06/08/2010)
Nerds and outcasts are the new tastemakers: from the dorks in Superbad to Diary of a Wimpy Kid, everyone’s cheering for the underdog these days.
The NERDS make their return in the second instalment of Michael Buckley's new series with more sinister villains, crazier schemes and the nerdiest group of superheroes around.
In this second outing for the junior school super spies, Duncan Dewey, codename "Gluestick", leads the adventures. This time the group must fight a very unlikely villain - he still lives with his Mum. In other words, it's the NERDS against a nerd! Featuring Buckley's trademark wit and imagination, the NERD team are one-of-a-kind creations - the paste-eater who can stick to walls; the asthmatic who can blow up like a pufferfish - who readers will recognize and root for.
Former NERDS member Michael Buckley is the author of the New York Times bestselling series The Sisters Grimm. He has also written and developed shows for Nickelodeon, Disney, MTV Animation, the Sci-Fi Channel, the Discovery Channel and VH1.
