M is for Mama's Boy - Michael Buckley

A group of unpopular fifth graders run a spy network from inside their school. With the help of cutting-edge science, they transform their nerdy qualities into incredible abilities! In the series' second installment, Duncan Dewey (code name: Gluestick) leads the team against a supervillain who used to be a member of Nerds. But has the team become too dependent on their supergadgets? It will take old-fashioned brainpower and bravery to save the world again. Publishers Weekly raved, "Buckley has a flair for exaggerated humor."
