Narrative In Favor Of 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?

Discuss Out Of Books Into the Wild Nerd Yonder
I feel like Into the Wild Nerd Yonder is a book for me, about me, and at some moments could have been written by me. The fact that I am here, on Goodreads, and writing a book review is a proof enough that I am an unapologetic nerd. And who isn't here, right? This is why this novel about embracing one's nerdiness had such an appeal to me.It raises an interesting question - why is it so shameful to acknowledge one's nerdiness? And I will take it a bit further - when did "nerdy" behavior become so

"How is it that someone becomes a dork? Do they choose to, just like Bizza and Char decided to turn punk? Are they born that way? What makes some people like punk music and Denny's and other people like costumes and Dungeons and Dragons? And where do I fit into all of this?" One word: Adorkable! Into the Wild Nerd Yonder is hilarious, witty, and so very (sometimes even painfully) relatable. Though I know I'm a little too old for the character to fully enjoy some of her mannerisms or one-liners,

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!

It is kind of hard for me to relate to this book totally, because its about one girls slow acceptance of her own nerdy ways, and I never struggled with that. I was a magnificently huge nerd in high school. I never had my own car, so I took the bus to and from school all the way through my senior year, and was thus the oldest person to take the bus (although my best friend had a 1960s Dodge Dart with a sweet teal paint job and a passenger door that would swing open unexpectedly during sharp

Reviewed by Sarah Bean the Green Bean Teen Queen for TeensReadToo.comJessie doesn't know where she belongs in high school anymore. Her best friends have turned into overnight punks. Her punk rock brother is dating the prom princess. In a quest to find new friends, Jessie stumbles upon the Dungeons and Dragons crowd. But if she ventures into the wild nerd yonder, can she ever come back?I love Julie Halpern - she writes with so much humor and heart that it makes for a great read. As a fellow nerd,

2.5 stars The story was cute, but a bit too shallow, juvenile, and judgmental for my tastes. I mightve enjoyed this book much more, if I read it as a middle schooler. I was a bit annoyed with the use of parentheses in every other sentence. Not to mention, Jessies passive-aggressive, judgmental, and holier-than-thou attitudeOK, so your best friends transformed into total poser punks; they wanted to look cool so they picked up smoking, and theyre starting to get a little boy crazy with the wrong

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
