Type: Realistic fiction
Maureen is a Nerd Girl. So are her friends Allergy Alice (who is, fittingly, incredibly allergic to many things) and Beanpole (who is clumsy but nice). The ThreePees are super-popular girls--Kiki, the leader of the three, Brittany-Brattany, the second in command, and Sofes, who is a total doofus. One day the ThreePees lock the Nerd Girls in the art storage room! Soon the principal finds out and all six girls get into trouble. Then the principal drops a bomb on them--they have to work together as a team to win the ACADEMIC SEPTATHLON!!! And not only that, but Maureen is having big family troubles. Can Maureen get Logan Meyers as her boyfriend? Can she fix her family? Can Alice cure herself of her allergies?
This book is really great. It has LOTS of humor and excitement. Maureen's voice is slightly sarcastic, and other funny parts are that Sofes is really, really dumb (no offense) and the septathlon announcer, Bingo, is really, really funny. I recommend this book highly!!!!
