Review by Maylie N.
Who would like this book? I think both genders of ages 8 and up will enjoy this thrilling, creative, and action- packed book. Adults or older teens may not like it as much, but it will still be enjoyable to them. Fans of spies and superheroes will like this book as well.
The goods on this book: This story takes place in the present (or maybe a little into the future) times in America. The N.E.R.D.S (National Espionage, Rescue, and Defense Society), a group of spy elementary schoolers, are at it again, this time facing an old enemy. This enemy has a dastardly plan and people (and animals) to help with it. Duncan, A.K.A Gluestick, a member of the N.E.R.D.S, joins up with his teammates to stop him. But oh no! The villain has concocted a device that deprives them of their powers! Duncan is devastated. He relies on his powers, along with technology, to be a good spy, and now he can only rely on tech. But what will happen when technology is taken from him too? I really like this book series and plan on reading more of it. The story is very clear and easy to follow, and Buckley throws in some clever humor to lighten the mood. This is a great book to read when you feel like having an adventure!
