Shout it from the rooftops! “We’re geeks and we’re proud!” May 25th is Geek Pride Day!

In true RIF style, we have a few book selections and activities to keep your celebrations geek-tastic.

Any Star Wars fanatics out there? Check out the Origami Yoda series by Tom Angleberger.

If Professor Charles Xavier were a kid, he’d definitely be in the Mysterious Benedict Society, a series by Trenton Lee Stewart, with plenty of adventure and puzzles to solve along the way. This series speaks to children with special abilities.

And don’t forget Roald Dahl’s classic Matilda, featuring one of the most gifted young geeks in kid lit. Whether you’re reading it to a child in your life or picking it back up after many years, the book makes the perfect companion to Geek Pride Day.
