I read this book expecting the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid Trekkie" review to fit perfectly, but I found that the book was so much more than that. Yes, it had humor and nerdiness like Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but Lisa Yee really teaches the reader more in Warp Speed than just that being nerdy is funny- she shows that being nerdy is normal. Lisa Yee also deals with many other issues throughout the book, but all in a non-preachy way and a way that will reach students.
It does deal with anti-bullying, but I don't want to give away too much.
Comes out March 1, 2011- So worth getting!
