Geek High

At this school, everyone’s a geek. And Miranda Bloom still can’t fit in…
Miranda is a math genius with divorced parents, an evil stepmother, and no boyfriend in sight. She can’t even fit in with the other geeks at the Nottingham Independent School for high IQ students, because they actually have useful talents. Miranda, on the other hand, is known as ‘The Human Calculator,’ which doesn’t amount to much when people have, you know, their own calculators. Then Miranda gets stuck planning the school’s Snowflake Gala. And as she struggles to find a date and drum up some school spirit at Nottingham aka ‘Geek High‘ she finds that who you are means more than where you fit in.

Geek Abroad

Looking for love in all the wrong countries

Miranda Bloom’s life has never been better. She finally has an almost quasi boyfriend, Dex McConnell, the star lacrosse player of Orange Cove High. But when holiday break rolls around, she jets off to visit her mother in London, and Dex suddenly seems to lose all interest in her. Then there s Henry, the very cute and very available British guy who complicates matters by making it clear that he s very interested in Miranda.

Things don t get easier for her when clas*ses start back up at Geek High. Between the dreaded Math Team competitions, an annoyingly love struck best friend, and a stepmother who seems to delight in making Miranda miserable, it doesn t take a genius to see that the semester ahead is going to be tough.

Summer of the Geek

The third compulsively readable book in the smart and witty series about a high school for gifted students.

Miranda Bloom has scored an adorable, lacrosse-playing boyfriend, Dex McConnell, and an awesomely easy summer job looking after a ten year old mini-genius, Amelia. This summer is going to be sweet…

Then reality puts the brakes on everything. Though Dex and Miranda are official, she feels like he’s keeping secrets-secrets that may have to do with his fashion model ex-girlfriend. Meanwhile, Amelia is harder to figure out than advanced trigonometry. How can they bond if all she does is practice the piano? Plus Miranda’s mom just invited her to live in London with her. Living across the pond would be great, but can she really leave Geek High and Dex?

Looks like Miranda has a secret of her own…
