Geeks, geeks at heart, and non-geeks alike will swoon for this smorgasbord of nerdy delights. Ridiculously witty and entertaining, Geektastic is chock-full of laughs, Comic-Con humor and real-world drama. Despite the abundance of Klingons, Vulcans, droids and the like that populate the book, there’s something deeply human about each of the stories in this quirky collection. With some adult content and a boatload of dweeby drama, this book is better suited for older high schoolers and the perfect guilty pleasure for anyone who wants to explore their inner (or outer!) geek. (Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, $11.55)
