Geektastic- Stories From the Nerd Herd

I got this book because of the name. "Geektastic that sounds like just the book for me!!" It is a lot of short stories by the authors; M.T. Anderson, Holly Black, Libba Bray, Cecil Catellucci, Cassandra Clare, John Green, Hope Larson, David Levithan, Kelly Link, Barry Lyga, Tracy Lynn, Wendy Mass, Garth Nix, Bryan Lee O'Malley, Cynthia and Greg Leitich Smith, Scott Westerfield, Lisa Yee and Sara Zarr. The stories deal with different levels of geekiness and my favorite story is The Stars at the Finish Line by Wendy Mass. Between the stories there are comics of things like Top Five Words or Phrases You Need to Know in Klingon, and, What Your Instrument Says About You, also, What Kind of Geek are You? If you feel the need to let your inner geek come out, get this book.
