One hacked website. One school-wide dating boycott. One complete social meltdown.

The boys of Olympia High have a secret.

The girls have a plan.

And Camy Cavanaugh is stuck in the middle.

When Camy discovers The Hotties of Troy, a hidden website where the school's most popular boys rate and gossip about their female classmates, she knows someone has to do something. She just never expects that "something" to become a full-scale dating boycott.

Now the girls refuse to date anyone connected to the site. The football team is falling apart. Homecoming is approaching. And everyone wants quiet, dependable Camy to fix the problem.

The popular girls want dates with boys from the nerd herd. The A-list boys want introductions to girls from the honor roll. Even Gavin Madison?the quarterback, Camy's former friend, and the crush she has never quite gotten over?wants her help.

Soon Camy is arranging unlikely couples, navigating secret alliances, and trying to identify the mystery boy behind the website. But the more she interferes in everyone else's love life, the harder it becomes to ignore her own.

Especially when Gavin starts looking at her as though the last three years never happened.

Packed with matchmaking mishaps, high-school rivalry, geeky humor, and unexpected romance, Dating on the Dork Side proves that sometimes the best matches are the ones no one sees coming.



Autorentext

Charity Tahmaseb has slung corn on the cob for Green Giant and jumped out of airplanes (but not at the same time). She spent twelve years as a Girl Scout and six in the Army; that she wore a green uniform for both may not be a coincidence. These days, she writes fiction (long and short) and works as a technical writer for a software company in St. Paul.

Her novel, The Geek Girl's Guide to Cheerleading (written with co-author Darcy Vance), was a YALSA 2012 Popular Paperback pick in the Get Your Geek On category.

Her short speculative fiction has appeared in UFO Publishing's Unidentified Funny Objects and Coffee anthologies, Deep Magic, Escape Pod, and Cicada.



Klappentext

What's a geek girl to do when all's fair in love, war, and hacking ... Stung by an epic betrayal, Camy Cavanaugh relies on the sure things: her best friend, her job as peer tutor, and her safe spot on the sidelines of life. But when she hacks into a secret, trash-talking website, it ignites a war between the sexes that won't end until the whole school is turned upside down--and Camy's world is turned inside out. Now the hottest girls in school refuse to date the A-List boys. But with the Homecoming dance looming, everyone from the queen bee to the girl "most likely to" pushes Camy to hook them up with guys from the nerd herd. And then there's quarterback, A-lister--and former crush--Gavin Madison. He hasn't spoken to Camy in three years ... but he's talking now, begging her to pair the guys on the football team with girls from the Honor Roll. It's a contest of wills and everything is on the line--even Camy's heart. Will she retreat to the sidelines, or will she find the courage to get back in the game? This contemporary young adult novel won the 2016 International Digital Awards, in the Young Adult Novel category. Read on for a tech-savvy twist to Lysistrata.
