This is a fantastic book there is acrtually no other way to put it because the events and the props the characters use are really what kids imagine of being a secret agent. An example is the Benchley they use to get to places it is looks like a school bus but when need it it turns in o a jet that shoots up the stratosphere then waits for earth to turn to the spot they want to go then it soots back down. And this is just thee beginning of awesomeness,but the interesting part is how he (the author

The NERDS, the grade school heroes of the National Espionage, Rescue, and Defense Society, are at it again, fighting an ex-NERD who is using his super skills to try to take over the world while destroying part of it on the way. What I liked about the book: there's a lot of excitement and there is a clear message that technology can't do everything, that the kids need to use their brains and figure out alternative ways to win a battle when technology isn't available. What I didn't like about t

When I go into schools, these books have a request list a mile long for a reason. The characters are likeable, the tone of the books is hilarious, and it's all very accessible for grade school readers. With this second book, I feel the settling in of the trend in these books. Each about one team member at a time focusing on teaching that team member a lesson. A little repetitive for me as an adult but I remember that when I was a kid I read so many Babysitter's Club books that I have no leg

The NERDS are back in action. This time they must go up against one of their former members. Simon was sure the team would join him in taking revenge against those who bullied them. He was wrong. Now he is out to rule the world. In addition to his goon, he has a new partner. Captain Justice is willing to help Simon because Simon promised him super powers to become a real super hero. Then there is Captain Justice's crazy mother who wants power and prestige. Throw all of these characters t

OK now that I'm done with the book I gotta review. Now the story in my opinion is amazing and doesn't stray away from the last story. Some pattern that is a possibility is that it will go in mainly each of the agents lives. Like the first book was Jones and here it's Dewey. The creativeness lacks abit going and sharing a very good life lesson : MAN UP. Really first book was Don't Judge someone by his Appearance. Also the Letter scenes were kinda funny like the YouTube refrence. Albert Nessbit an

The book NERDS: M is for Mommas Boy is a fiction book. It is authored by Michael Buckley. This book is about a boy named Duncan who is in a spy group called NERDS. NERDS is a group of kids who still go to school and are regular students. The only thing that is unusual is that they have superpowers.
Duncan has four best friends that are members of NERDS. They are Matilda, Ruby, Jackson, and Julio. There was a member of the group named Heathcliff, but he left to become a super villain. He lef More...

5 nerds. 5 special powers. By day, they're picked on and are your regular, run-of-the-mill nerds. By afternoon, they become N.E.R.D.S., an elite group of super-spies who operate out of the school basement. Each team member's weakness gets turned into a superpower by an amazing computer.

This is a cool book. A book where a lot of students can enjoy. It starts with an adventure and the members of NERDS go to look for another chance to save the world which they did plenty of times. I tink this is an awesome book for kids to read!

Another one? How many of these ARE there? Ugh. I guess it was relatively okay, but Michael Buckley is NOT my favorite author. There was a lot of crying... "He cried" or "She cried". Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. I DO NOT recommend.

because it is about Duncan and I like Duncan because he can stick to walls. the nerds have to stop simon, who used to be on the team but now he is a bad guy.
the nerds books are about kids that are spies and their secret hideout is under the school. they are all in the same class.

This book is right up my son's alley! He has read it at least twice, and we read it aloud at bedtime with all the kids. It is a fun, creative, humorous and positive tale.

Used this for a mini book report. Learned some new words after looking them up in a dictionary. My Mom had to explain why the subtitle is "M is for Mama's Boy" I am only 9 so still not sure I get it.

Michael Buckley nailed middle grade humor in this book - big time! The super powers of the kids in book one were awesome. Add some buck-toothed squirrels worshiping our buck-toothed hero-turned-villain and it's even more hilarious. I found myself in awe of Michael's ability to somehow channel the imaginative energy of this age group.

I thought it was really good because all of the action ,like when duncan did not have his upgrades and he still beat simon the trader, was awesome and the comedy was super funny ,like when tanisha ,duncans sister, has a boyfreind and she uses benjamin the blue orb to spy on him and she finds out he is cheating she turns him into the fbi as a wanted criminal eventhough he isn't after she tried to shoot a neaukular missle at his house!!!!!
