Geek Girl ,From geek to chic by Holly Smale


Harriet Manners is a Ms Know it all. Everybody at school thinks she's a geek. Everybody at school hates Harriet but she doesn't know why. Harriet has only one friend, Nat. Only one enemy, Alexa. And last but the very least Harriet was named after a turtle. So when she's offered a chance to change herself, she grabs it. Can Harriet transform from geek to chic?                
I loved this book because it was from the geek's/Harriet's point of view so the reader gets to know how she's feeling and how she deals with all the people at school and how she lives her life also it has some funny bits in it.                                                 
I think that somebody who likes reading about drama and a bit of comedy would like this book.                                               
This is the first book Holly Smale has ever published. Also Geek girl is a sequel. Geek to chic is only the first book. The second book hasn't been published yet and I think it will be published sometime in September or October 2013. Here's a picture of what the second book will look like:
