" Matilda must give up her life of martial arts and punches in the head to spy for the N.E.R.D.S.She does, but reluctantly. "
— Kathryn, 1/30/2014" I absolutely loved this book!!!! The whole series is a must read for anyone that loves nerdy teen spy stories. "
— Brittney, 1/26/2014" Over-the-top as all the NERDS books are. This one borrows a page from "Bring it on" with the message that cheerleading is a serious sport that wins the respect of the main agent eventually. Yet again the world is threatened by a former NERDS agent who has gone rogue and can only be brought in the junior agents and their amazing upgrades. Sly humor, action hyperbole, and gadgets galore feature as always! "
— Angela, 1/22/2014" The third book in the NERDS series focuses on Wheezer, Matilda Choi. I'm thoroughly enjoying that we get to find out more about each agent as the series progresses. Wheezer's personal family problems are probably relatable with a lot of kids these days. Mom and dad are constantly fighting and are on the verge of divorce. What I like about this particular resolution is that it was realistic. There isn't a happy ending where suddenly her parents get along again, instead, her parents sit down with Wheezer and explain to her what's going on. Wheezer was the unpredictable and slightly violent one of the group when the series first started. By the end of this book, she was the same but I felt that she was more stable and gained a lot more confidence about who she was. "
— Alice, 1/20/2014" This series is definitely growing on me. I wasn't the hugest fan of the first book, but each book has been a little better than the last. I really liked the various worlds of the multiverse, and I loved the sanity quizzes in between sections. Very clever. "

— Lena, 7/28/2013" Another good Nerds book. This one is from Matilda's point of view. She has to pose as a cheerleader to stop another plot by Simon/Screwball. It has it's entertaining moments and is good mindless entertainment. "
— Kevin, 6/3/2013" This is a really good book, I highly recomend this book but you should'nt read it unless you have read the other two beacause it would be a little confusing if you did'nt. "
