About Geek Girl

Dive into the hilarious and heartwarming world of Harriet Manners in Holly Smale's beloved novel, Geek Girl. Harriet is a self-proclaimed geek, armed with an impressive arsenal of facts about everything from cat muscles to the duration of a 'jiffy.' However, her encyclopedic knowledge doesn't extend to navigating the complexities of high school social dynamics, leaving her feeling like an outsider.

Her life takes an unexpected turn when she's scouted by a top model agent. Seizing this golden opportunity for a complete reinvention, Harriet plunges headfirst into the glamorous yet bewildering world of fashion. This new path, however, comes with its own set of challenges: she risks alienating her best friend, faces the ire of her arch-nemesis Alexa, and repeatedly finds herself in embarrassing situations, often in front of the impossibly handsome model Nick. As Harriet struggles to balance her old life, which slowly begins to unravel, with her new, chaotic reality, she must confront the true meaning of identity and acceptance. Can she truly transform herself without losing who she is, or will her attempts at reinvention lead to disaster? This witty and relatable young adult novel explores themes of social acceptance, self-discovery, and the hilarious mishaps of teenage life.
