About the Book

This fifth installment in the series stars Matilda "Wheezer" Choi, the asthmatic who can fly and kick butt courtesy of her nanobyte-enhanced inhalers.

Book Synopsis

The Cheerleaders of Doom is third in the hilarious NERDS series from New York Times bestselling author Michael Buckley!

If you're looking for a funny illustrated series to enjoy alongside favorites such as Dog Man, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and The Last Kids on Earth books, NERDS delivers.

Matilda "Wheezer" Choi is an asthmatic who can fly and kick butt courtesy of her nanobyte-enhanced inhalers. She loves pro wrestling and hates anything "girlie." Unfortunately for Wheezer, when a former-NERD-turned-villain gets extensive plastic surgery in order to become a cheerleader, Matilda must swallow her pride to successfully infiltrate the squad.

The villain with pom-poms, Gerdie Baker, has created a device that opens portals to other worlds, and if Matilda doesn't find a way to destroy it, the fates of all the worlds will be at stake.

"Fans of the series will gladly recognize how the mayhem of the plot is well matched by a surfeit of quips and general goofiness of the highest order." --Booklist
