Last time, in THE QUEEN GEEK SOCIAL CLUB, Shelby and her new best friend, Becca, created a group full of
average girls that would try to take over the world, one Twinkie at a time. Along the way, Shelby had to get used to her
dad dating, making sure her friend didn’t go too far, and falling for the oh-so-adorable Fletcher.
Shelby Chapelle is back, this time with even more sticky situations. Shelby and Fletcher have gotten pretty close, except
for the parts where she starts to pull away or changes the subject when things get too serious. Sure, Fletcher is great, but
since he is Shelby’s first boyfriend, freaking out over everything that goes on between them seems like the sensible thing
to do. Besides, who really wants to be affectionate in public? Their relationship could work out, just as long as Fletcher
takes all of Shelby’s actions with a grain of salt, and doesn’t question too much on what is going on.
But Shelby better watch out, since Fletcher is becoming the apple of some of the girls’ eyes in her school. Who could
resist a guy that is the perfect gentlemen, knows where to eat, and can sing karaoke without getting embarrassed? Boy
troubles continue when Becca and Amber fall for Jon, the very cute and very artsy guy.
Aside from all the love drama, the Queen Geeks are hoping to take their social club to higher levels. Becca is fancying
up the website and entering it into a web contest, hoping that their club will get better and even more publicity. Then
there is their Geekfest talent show where all sorts of talents, both plain and weird, can be showcased. And, of course,
we can’t forget about the assembling of the Geektastic Four, co-created by Jon, for the Comic Con competition. Four
girls, with four superpowers. There is Smart-tastic, Organize-i-tastic, Art-tastic and Vege-tastic.
The Queen Geeks are stronger than ever and here to stay. So long as the one thing they never worried about, BOYS!,
doesn’t take over their brains.
Charming, intriguing, satisfying, hilarious, candid, attention-grabbing, witty, defining, and smart, QUEEN GEEKS IN
LOVE is basically great! Every single character that we all came to love, from Shelby to Euphoria, is back and better
than ever. With even more problems and the hilarious actions that go along with them, Laura Preble takes us deeper into
the world of some pretty crazy girls. Who said that sequels could never be as good as the first? Let’s just hope that
there is a sequel for the sequel!
