Bigger, Badder, Nerdier
by Obert Skye
2019
Tip and the rest of LAME are back, now with mediocre superpowers and a fresh set of school disasters. A rival group, a bigger plot, and Darth Susan's latest scheme push the geeks into another messy showdown.
Series background & context
Geeked Out takes the usual pain of middle school and blows it up until it looks like a tiny apocalypse. Waddle Jr. High has split into cliques that feel like rival territories, and the world outside does not seem especially stable either. Inside that mess are Tip, Owen, Xennipher, and Mindy, four kids on the geekier end of the social map who are tired of being shoved around and written off.
Their answer is wonderfully overblown.
They form the League of Average Mediocre Entities, or LAME, and decide that if nobody else is going to save school life from bullies, absurd adults, and general collapse, they might as well try. The books are told in diary-style entries with drawings, side jokes, and lots of deliberate nonsense, so the tone stays light even when the setting sounds dramatic. Obert Skye is clearly having fun parodying dystopian fiction, superhero stories, and the weird seriousness of school politics all at once.
The main pleasure of the series is that it treats middle school like both a disaster zone and a joke about disaster zones. In A Lame New World, the group is mostly trying to survive the social order and push back against bullying. By Bigger, Badder, Nerdier, they are dealing with mediocre superpowers, a rival imitation group called LAMER, and new trouble stirred up by Darth Susan, a school villain who sounds silly until you remember how much power one adult can have over a kid's daily life.
Tip gives the series its voice. He is anxious, observant, and just sarcastic enough to keep the jokes moving. Owen is awkward and sensitive, Xennipher is the tech brain, and Mindy is often the most dependable person in the room. None of them feel like polished heroes, which is exactly the point. Their powers are odd, limited, and sometimes more embarrassing than useful. That keeps the stakes funny rather than grand, even when the books flirt with bigger danger.
These are not sleek superhero novels.
They are quick, goofy stories about friendship, social survival, and kids deciding they are done waiting for permission to matter. If you like comic diary fiction, exaggerated school villains, and adventures where average kids get just enough power to make things weirder, Geeked Out is a good fit. The pages move fast, the puns come often, and the big idea is simple: even kids who feel ordinary can push back when the system around them gets ridiculous.
