The Queen Geek Social Club by Laura Preble
(
) The author of this book is creative with her words to the finest extent, and makes all dialogue clever and entertaining. The basic story is told in first-person by the main character, Shelby. The whole narrative begins with Shelby becoming best friends with a new girl in school, Becca. Together, they create a club that is somewhat of a retreat for other girls of their similar nature: ones that don't join the conformist views of the high school scene - ones that are the 'odd one out' in almost every crowd. It works, and they gain a few members. They even create 'causes', like collecting Twinkies to be mailed to one of the most superficial modeling companies around in order to protest stick-thin models. More attention gathers, and Shelby begins to grow in ways she hadn't previously. She gains more understanding of her family, friends, and boys. Not to mention getting a top-notch boy in the end! It's creative, entertaining, and inspiring - it makes you think twice about your amazing abilities to accomplish; and also, about possibly raising your own current ambition level.
