Ten-year-old Gabe has just been accepted to the Summer Center for Gifted Enrichment. That means he’ll be spending six weeks at sleepaway camp, writing poetry and perfecting logic proofs. SCGE has been a summer home of some legendary middle-school smarty-pants (and future Jeopardy! contestants), but it also has a reputation for being, well, a nerd camp. Gabe isn’t a nerd. Is he? He’s never thought about it much, but compared to Zack, his hip, soon-to-be-stepbrother from LA, Gabe’s not so sure where he falls on the cool scale. A wild summer at camp—complete with a midnight canoe ride to Dead Man’s Island—helps Gabe realize that he and Zack may be different, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be brothers…and friends.

Gabe is happily headed back to Nerd Camp, but can he handle a cool-kid invasion? For Gabe, the equation for ideal summer bliss equals six glorious weeks of vigorous learning immersion at the Summer Center for Gifted Enrichment; aka, Nerd Camp. Last year was amazing, and this summer will be even better. At least, that's what Gabe thinks until a new variable is introduced: Zack, Gabe's cool stepbrother, was supposed to attend a camp nearby, but in the aftermath of a recent wildfire, Zack's camp and nerd camp will be sharing territory. As these two very different worlds collide, will both camps - and both stepbrothers - survive the summer?

The award-winning NERD CAMP series continues with bite-size Nerd Camp Briefs! Nikhil should be excited about the Summer Center for Gifted Enrichment winter retreat. It’s supposed to be a weekend of learning and fun with his best friends, Wesley and Gabe. But his mischievous little sister, Monishah, is attending the retreat too, and it’s Nikhil’s responsibility to keep her from causing trouble. Then Mo plans something that could get them both kicked out of Nerd Camp forever. What’s the world’s most cautious camper to do? Break as many rules as necessary, just to be safe.
