Holly Smale is a debut author. Clumsy, a bit geeky and somewhat shy, she spent the majority of her teenage years hiding in the changing room toilets. She was unexpectedly spotted by a top London modelling agency at the age of fifteen and spent the following two years falling over on catwalks, going bright red and breaking things she couldn't afford to replace. By the time Holly had graduated from Bristol University with a BA in English Literature and an MA in Shakespeare she had given up modelling and set herself on the path to becoming a writer. Holly is now a fully fledged author and blogger and is currently writing the sequel to Geek Girl.
A smart, sassy and very funny debut. The Bookseller Loved GEEK GIRL. Wise, funny and true, with a proper nerd heroine you're laughing with as much as at. Almost. James Henry, writer of Smack the Pony and Green Wing Geek Girl is a fabulous novel with a real message behind the words on the page [and] an exciting and original story line. Stefanie Tucker (aged 13) for Love Reading. I would highly recommend Geek Girl to anyone who likes a good laugh and enjoys a one-of-a-kind story. Mia,Guardian Children's Books website
