Nerdy Kid's Reading List

We know that there are different types of nerds —computer nerds, history nerds, science nerds, space nerds, sci-fi nerds, math nerds, or book nerds. And while talking about Nerds who can forget Hermione Granger, a nerd we all love.

Learning fun facts, discovering the world, playing with words and numbers or exploring science...if these are what your children like better than immersing self in a world of fiction then the following list of books are apt for them. They not only enhance knowledge but do it in a fun, non-preachy and imaginative manner.
