A warm, funny and witty tale of being in love, the Geekhood series for readers aged 9 and up captures all the awkwardness of being a teenager with nerdy tendencies.
Fourteen-year-old Archie is a Geek to his core. In the world of role-playing games, he's a Level 5 Mage, capable of summoning the Undead. But with no rule book to navigate Life's Big Challenges – warring parents, nightmare step-parents, orc-like school bullies and crap hair – he's teetering on the brink. Then his world turns completely upside-down when he meets a Beautiful Girl. And so Archie embarks on a Daring Quest to win her heart, which will involve all sorts of side quests and adventures.
All the Geekhood books in order:
Book 1: Close Encounters of the Girl Kind (2012)
Book 2: Geekhood: Mission Improbable (2013)
