There is nothing overtly negative in NERDS. There is "mild" violence, mostly towards the end of the books, as the the issues near resolution.
I hope they make it to the approved list, it really is a fun series! |

I'm sure that they will. I checked them out, and don't see anything worrisome. PLUS, I mentioned to the parents that "Compass" mightn't suit them, so now I seem trustworthy. (MwAHAHAHAHAHA...)
Yes, it IS awesome. I was dead pleased. My husband is the big reader in that family, albeit all non-fiction, but voracious nonetheless. I'm omnivorous--pretty much everything, although without other plot elements, romances don't really fly for me. I'm a big devourer of fic and non-fic alike. I'm delighted to spend a few pennies buying him books. It's NOTHING, really, when you think how it will enrich his life. My folks were big readers, and fed my reading habit throughout my childhood, no matter what. BEST thing that they ever did for me. (Although, whew!, me finding and reading that Harold Robbins book when I was 12-13 was probably a bit much...but they didn't know I'd seen it...)
