Slacker Nerd Jerome
Slacker Nerd Jerome – Jerome’s Dilemma: Too Cool for School
Slacker Nerd Jerome – Jerome’s Dilemma: Too Cool for School is the first book in an exciting new series that takes you inside the mind of Jerome—12 years old, ridiculously smart and absolutely convinced that school is a waste of time. Why sit through boring lessons when there are video games to master and gadgets to tinker with? Jerome’s got a mission: to show his friends that skipping out on schoolwork is the way to go. But life has a funny way of throwing curveballs. There’s Ms White, who never lets him out of her sight, Mr Gomez, whose crazy science experiments keep pulling him in, and Coach Peters, who’s tougher than the final boss in his favourite game. No matter how hard he tries to outsmart the system, school keeps challenging him in ways he never expected. Join Jerome on a wild, laugh-out-loud journey as he dodges schoolwork, navigates friendships and maybe—just maybe—discovers that learning isn’t the enemy after all. Packed with humour, real-life dilemmas and plenty of unforgettable moments, this is just the beginning of Jerome’s adventure!
