Geek Girl - Geek Girl: (10th Anniversary edition)
Paperback
Now a major Netflix series!
“My name is Harriet Manners, and I am a geek.”
Harriet Manners knows that a cat has 32 muscles in each ear, a “jiffy” lasts 1/100th of a second, and the average person laughs 15 times per day.
But she doesn’t know why nobody at school seems to like her.
So when Harriet is spotted by a top model agent, she grabs the chance to reinvent herself. Even if it means stealing her best friend's dream, incurring the wrath of her arch enemy Alexa, and repeatedly humiliating herself in front of impossibly handsome model Nick. Even if it means lying to the people she loves.
As her old life starts to fall apart, will Harriet be able to transform herself before she ruins everything?
The first book in the Geek Girl series, now a live-action Netflix series.
