Realistic Fiction

 

 

KJ Miller wants nothing more than to get rid of her “geek” guy-friends, who follow her around everywhere. In her opinion, they may be nice, but are also extremely annoying and make it almost impossible for the popular Cameron Richardson to notice her. So, when she meets Tama Gold, the popular queen, she thinks she finally has the perfect solution to all of her problems. Tama’s technique of “getting rid of geeks” is not all it seems, however. Geek Magnet is cleverly formatted as if it were a play, which corresponds to Grease, the play KJ and her friends are performing. It is a great book for light, fun reading and relates to high school social classes, as well.
