Description
Geeky Fab 5 Vol. 1 begins with Lucy Monroe’s memorable first day at Earhart Elementary. By recess, she has launched herself off the rusty monkey bars, landing face down onto the blacktop. The incident prompts the principal to close the rickety playground, leaving the whole school upset. What’s a new girl to do? Create a band of geeky friends to build a cool new playground together! Easy, right?
Join Lucy, her gang, Hubble the snarky kitty, and their TV reporter buddy, Suzy Pundergast, as they set out to prove the meanies wrong. With determination and teamwork, anything is possible when girls stick together!
