That means he'll be spending six weeks at sleepaway camp, writing poetry and perfecting logic proofs. S.C.G.E. has been a summer home to some legendary middle-school smarty-pants (and future \u003ci\u003eJeopardy!\u003c\/i\u003e contestants), but it has a reputation for being, well, a Nerd Camp. S.C.G.E = Smart Camp for Geeks and Eggheads.\u003cbr\u003e But is Gabe really a geek? He's never thought about it much--but that was before he met Zack, his hip, LA-cool, soon-to-be stepbrother. Gabe worries that Zack will see him only as a nerd, until a wild summer at camp--complete with a midnight canoe ride to \"Dead Man's Island\"--helps Gabe realize that he and Zack have the foundations for a real friendship.\u003cbr\u003e This clever, fun read from Elissa Brent Weissman is full of great minor characters (like a bunkmate who solves math problems in his sleep) and silly subplots (like the geekiest lice outbreak ever). Adjust your head-gear, pack your camp bag, and get ready to geek out!\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eElissa Brent Weissman is the author of \u003ci\u003eNerd Camp \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eStanding for Socks\u003c\/i\u003e.
