Nerds Mac and his friend Paul are given the chance to become one of the cool hunters. Grand adventures as these underdogs seek to win out over cool Cat. Great characters coupled with fast action and grand adventures sure to be appeal to boys with promise of more books to follow. ( )

The Coolhunters have come to Kings Bay, Mac Slater's hometown, and they are looking for their next online correspondent. After watching Mac ride (and crash) his flying bike invention, they ask him to compete for the job by posting videos daily of the hottest and coolest trends he sees in Kings Bay. Unfortunately, they've also made the offer to Cat DeVrees, the most power-hungry and fame-obsessed girl in town. Cat has wealthy parents, a huge wardrobe, and a boyfriend who's willing to intimidate anyone getting in his girl's way. Mac and Cat each post videos, with the winner receiving the most votes on the Coolhunters' website each day, and Cat thinks the job (and the cash, free stuff and trip to New York) are hers for the taking. But sometimes, cool is thinking out of the box, and seeing things in a different way... and there Mac might have a chance. His family is an oddball hippie mix, and he's always been the sideshow geek in school. Which view will the online world respond to more? Lots of fun -- 6th grade and up. ( )
