Commentary Concering Books Into the Wild Nerd Yonder

It’s Jessie’s sophomore year of high school. A self-professed “mathelete,” she isn’t sure where she belongs. Her two best friends have transformed themselves into punks and one of them is going after her longtime crush. Her beloved older brother will soon leave for college (and in the meantime has shaved his mohawk and started dating . . . the prom princess!) . . . Things are changing fast. Jessie needs new friends. And her quest is a hilarious tour through high-school clique-dom, with a surprising stop along the way—the Dungeons and Dragons crowd, who out-nerd everyone. Will hanging out with them make her a nerd, too? And could she really be crushing on a guy with too-short pants and too-white gym shoes?       If you go into the wild nerd yonder, can you ever come back?

Critique Epithetical Books Into the Wild Nerd Yonder
3.5 starsToo often in the literary YA world, the plain girl gets a miraculous make-over that makes her beautiful, or the fat girl finds a way to become skinny, or an unpopular girl suddenly discovers herself as the center of attention or steals the heart of some cookie cutter popular boy. It's usually the same old story: the special girl somehow achieves the mainstream desire and becomes boringly normal and we're supposed to applaud and call it a happy ending. Into the Wild Nerd Yonder is

It was tough staying with this book long enough to become interested in it. The book is something of a Bildungsroman in that it is intended to describe the growth of the main character into maturity. Unfortunately, Jessie, the heroine, isn't very interesting and she's surrounded by people who aren't nice and who you'd rather she wasn't with.The sole saving grace of the early parts of the book is Jessie's older brother Barrett. He's devoted to Jessie without being a wimp about it and their

I love Julie Halpern-she writes with so much humor and heart that it makes for a great read. As a fellow nerd, I adored Jessie's journey to the nerd side. Granted, Jessie was never a super popular girl herself. She claims to be a mathlete and her hobby is sewing various skirts made from fun themed fabric. (I wish I could sew just to do that too!) But Jessie knows the D&D crowd is a new level of nerd and she doesn't know if she's ready to go there.Aside from the nerd storyline, there's a

My two favorite things about this book are as follows: 1. Allusions to great YA books. When I was a teenager, I tried to read, listen to, and learn about everything I ever saw referenced in my favorite books. To see references to Life As We Knew It, Elsewhere, and Harry Potter thrilled me not just because two of the three are favorites of mine, but also because I think talking about contemporary teen fiction made Jessie that much more real. 2. This book spoke to my own high school self. Like

3.5 starsI didnt think i was going to like this but once she got with the nerds it got a lot better. And they go to a renaissance faire. Huzzah!

Warning: This review may be a little crude for some.This book.Oh man, this book. I wish this book had been longer. I wasn't ready for it to end.The thing I loved most about this book was Jessie's voice, and how perfectly the author nailed the mind of a fifteen-year-old girl. That's what I loved most, what had me tearing through the pages and cheering for Jessie at her accomplishments, but what really won this book over for me from a good book to a really special and rare gem was something that I

I really liked this book. At first, Jessie, the main character got on my nerves a little. I thought it was annoying how she kept reiterating the she loved school, loved math was so smart etc but then she tried to act like she was so much cooler than the nerds. What's the difference? Once I got past that though, I really enjoyed reading this and thought that Halpern did a great job capturing the high school scene, teens and the conflict that teens feel when they might be drawn to someone or
