Close Encounters of the Girl Kind by Andy Robb
Fourteen-year-old Archie is a Geek to his core. In the world of role-playing games, he's a Level 5 Mage, capable of summoning the Undead. But with no rule book to navigate Life's Big Challenges - warring parents, a crass step-father, orc-like school bullies and crap hair - he's teetering on the brink... Then a Beautiful Girl appears in his Geeky world. Despite the fact that the closest he's come to an encounter with a girl is painting an Elven miniature, Archie embarks on a Daring Quest to win her heart. Geek meets girl - what could possibly go right?
"This book makes being a Geek sound pretty cool to me!" - True Blood's Stephen Moyer "A deliciously tender story that wittily captures the ecstasy and agony of being a teenager" - Julia Eccleshare, Lovereading4kids
Andy Robb was born in Devon. Once he realized that he was too short to be taken seriously as a costumed hero, he decided to spend as much time as he could playing make-believe. After training as an actor, he went on to appear in plays, TV dramas and films. Andy lives in a house boat on the Thames.
