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.

The Angel Experiment by James Patterson

The Angel Experiment by James Patterson is the first book in the Manximum Ride series. This book is about Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman, and Angel, six kids who are two percent bird and have wings. Created in a place called the School by evil scientists, they escaped four years ago with Jeb Batchelder, a scientist at the School. Jeb disappeared two years after they escaped and Max has been leading the flock ever since.
This book was awesome. It is really funny and you will fall in love with the characters. I would recommend this to teenagers/pre-teens. It doesn't look very short but it is a fast read and very well written. James Patterson has written many books; When the Wind Blows, Lake House, Witch and Wizard, The Dangerous Days of Daniel X, and all of the other books in the Maximum Ride series.
