Post from some of the coolest geeks ever!
I wanted to share this most excellent post I received from Maggie, a fan who, along with her friends Jess, Elisha, and Jessica, created a youtube interpretation of QUEEN GEEK SOCIAL CLUB. Check out the link to their movie!
From Maggie:
Hi there!Â
I just wanted to let you know about a video that a few of my friends and I made together. First, let's take a look at how we found out about your amazing books.Â
Our friend Jess read an article on The Queen Geek Social Club (we fondly refer to it as QGSC). She was really excited about it so her and I went out and each bought a copy. She read hers and then lent it to our friend Elisha, then I read mine and lent it to our friend Jessie. We were hooked. We had so much in common with them that we decided that we were Queen Geeks too. We even referred to the girls that were too skinny for their own good as Twinkies. We then went out and bought QGIL. When we got the second one it was during the week of the SAT's at our private school (Scholastic Achievement Tests, not Standardized Aptitude Tests) so every time we had stopped the end of our section and take out a book we would pick up yours. I kept hearing Jess cracking up next to me though. I believe it was that weekend that we were painting Jess' bedroom (well, flicking different colors of paint onto her white walls, to be more exact) and then we decided hey! why not paint our jeans!? They were old anyways because we had chosen them to get some paint on them that day. So we painted different things on them and then took out the sharpies. Oh yes. We took out the books and wrote down our favorite quotes (we had underlined them as we went along) on our jeans. Those our now our lovely geek jeans. Another time we rented the original The Day the Earth Stood Still to watch together. We've had two annual Star Wars marathons together also, always followed by a 3 AM light saber fight. This spring, we our holding our own National Invisible Boy Day. We are in the process of coming out with our bi-monthly magazine: Geek Chic. We have even made a Geek Green drink- non-alcoholic of course.Â
Now aside from all of that we have begun one new venture. The Adventures of the Queen Geeks.Â

That is the first episode and the second is under way. Yes, we are making videos inspired by your book. We don't claim that you wrote these or anything. We simply use your books as inspiration and are trying to get the word out there that it's a good thing to be smart and not ignorant. We have Shelby, Becca and Euphoria. I just wanted to say that we love your books and that it was one of the first things that really helped us form our entire friendship.Â
Thank you for writing these.Â
Sincerely yours,
Maggie C.
