Archie the Geek has a whole new role to play. In his fantasy world, Archie would have won the girl's undying love and defeated his tormenting bullies by now. But reality has other ideas. Enter Claire, a girl with a cunning plot to get her and Archie's crushes to notice them: pretend to be going out with one another. Archie is a Geek to his core - and despite having a Close Encounter with Sarah at the beginning of term, he's still completely clueless about girls. Enter Clare - an older woman (she's sixteen) who Archie meets on his weekend trip to see his dad and his nightmare step-mum, Jane. Clare and Archie hit it off - and she comes up with a brilliant, foolproof way to get their crushes to notice them: pretend to be going out with one another! What can possibly go wrong? With school, Sarah, a fake girlfriend and his insane family to deal with, Archie and his mates step-up the nerdiness and go Live Action Role-play gaming. Ladies and gentlemen, we are entering a new era... A warm, witty tale of being a teenage geek, Geekhood captures the awkwardness of being a teenager perfectly. Geekhood

won huge acclaim and deserves a place in the heart of any teenager with even slightly geeky leanings. "A deliciously tender story that wittily captures the ecstasy and agony of being a teenager." Julia Eccleshare, Lovereading4kids. "This book makes being a geek sound pretty cool to me!" True Blood's Stephen Moyer.
