See all formats and editions

Archie is a Geek to his core - and despite having a Close Encounter with Sarah at the beginning of term, he's still completely clueless about girls.

Enter Clare - an older woman (she's sixteen) who Archie meets on his weekend trip to see his dad and his nightmare step-mum, Jane.

Clare and Archie hit it off - and she comes up with a brilliant, foolproof way to get their crushes to notice them: pretend to be going out with one another!

What can possibly go wrong? With school, Sarah, a fake girlfriend and his insane family to deal with, Archie and his mates step-up the nerdiness and go Live Action Role-play gaming.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are entering a new era... A warm, witty tale of being a teenage geek, Geekhood captures the awkwardness of being a teenager perfectly.

Geekhood has won huge acclaim and deserves a place in the heart of any teenager with even slightly geeky leanings. "A deliciously tender story that wittily captures the ecstasy and agony of being a teenager." Julia Eccleshare, Lovereading4kids. "This book makes being a geek sound pretty cool to me!" True Blood's Stephen Moyer.
