Season 4 Episode 69 :: Nerdy Show Book Club – Children From the Stars

Posted by NerdyShow on December 13, 2012

Nerdy Show Book Club returns! Join Cap, Brandon, Colin, and newcomer Germaine as we discuss what books we’ve read, and the community read-long book: Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Shadow – a book that runs parallel to his classic, Ender’s Game. It’s the story of a genius street urchin who gets sent to Battleschool to defend humanity.  And since we’re already up there, we pay a visit with another child from space, he’s a real star you might say.

Tune in for the dramatic reading weirdness you love, as well as a world-premiere: the first chapter of the Nerdy Show-penned Weekend at Bernie’s 3: Night of the Living Bernie read aloud for your pleasure!
