Romancing the Nerd

Dan Garrett has become exactly what he hates - popular. Until recently, he was just another live-action role-playing nerd on the lowest rung of the social ladder. Cue a massive growth spurt and an uncanny skill at taking three-point shots in basketball and voilà . . . Mr. Popular. It's definitely weird.

And the biggest drawback? Going from high school zero to basketball hero cost Dan the secret girl of his dorky dreams.

A band geek with an eclectic fashion sense, Zelda Potts's “coolness” stat is about minus forty-two. Dan turning his back on her and the rest of nerd-dom was brutal enough, but when he humiliates her at school, Zelda decides it's time for a little revenge - dork style. Never mind that she used to have a crush on him. Never mind that her plan could backfire big time.

It's time to roll the dice . . . and hope like freakin' hell she doesn't lose her heart in the process.
