Here is the unforgettable story of the Binewskis, a circus-geek family whose matriarch and patriarch have bred their own exhibit of human oddities (with the help of amphetamine, arsenic, and radioisotopes). Their offspring include Arturo the Aquaboy, who has flippers for limbs and a megalomaniac ambition worthy of Genghis Khan . .
. Iphy and Elly, the lissome Siamese twins . .
. albino hunchback Oly, and the outwardly normal Chick, whose mysterious gifts make him the family's most preciousand dangerousasset.
As the Binewskis take their act across the backwaters of the U.S., inspiring fanatical devotion and murderous revulsion; as its members conduct their own Machiavellian version of sibling rivalry,Geek Lovethrows its sulfurous light on our notions of the freakish and the normal, the beautiful and the ugly, the holy and the obscene. Family values will never be the same.

Then Maya meets Betty - or more specifically, the 1952 edition of 'Betty Cornell's Guide to Teenage Popularity' andshe embarks on a brave - and secret - social experiment. Maya follows Betty's vintage wisdom - one chapter at a time (from 'poise' to 'personality' to 'hair' - and even her seat in the dreaded cafeteria) for each month of her school year ahead. In POPULAR, she chronicles the hilarious and poignant results - right up to the culmination of her grand experiment: prom.

Описание: In Lisa Simpson's Guide to Geek Chic, Springfield's most sensitive student reveals the secrets of being a misunderstood geek goddess. Geeks are no longer just those sideshow freaks biting the heads off chickens. Geeks are now freaks about all kinds of other things and are proud to let it show.
Geek is now chic, nerdy is now noble, and dorky is now desirable, as they always should have been. The readers, the writers, the scientists, and the creators are now at the top of the heap, and it's time to show the rest of the world what they are made of...beside mostly oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus, of course. Let your geek flag fly!

Описание: Broadway, New York. The shows, the neon lights . . . the cute chorus boys It's where Justin has always wanted to be--and now, with a winter internship for a famous actor, he finally has his chance to shine. If only he could ditch his kind, virtuous, upright, and--dare he say it?--uptight boyfriend, Spencer. But once the internship begins, Justin has more to worry about than a cramped single-guy-in-the-city style. Instead of having his moment in the spotlight, he's a not-so-glorified errand boy. Plus, Spencer is hanging out with a celebra-hottie, Justin's best friend Becky isn't speaking to him, and his famous actor boss seems headed for flopdom. Justin's tap-dancing as fast as he can, but all his wit and sass might not be enough to switch his time in New York from nightmare-terrible to dream-come-true terrific. Seth Rudetsky's second YA novel is endearingly human, laugh-out-loud funny, and for any kid who's ever aspired to Broadway but can only sneak in through the stage door.
