The EngiNerds series is a middle grade trilogy by Jarrett Lerner. The first book, published in 2019, follows a group of kids whose robot-building project takes an unexpected turn when the machines start acting on their own. The premise sets up a mix of comedy and science fiction that fits the middle school audience well.
Revenge of the EngiNerds continued the story in 2020, and The EngiNerds Strike Back wrapped things up in 2021. Across the three books, Lerner keeps the tone light and funny while giving his characters real problems to work through, both with their robots and with each other. The series is a good fit for readers in the 8-12 age range who like stories about kids using their brains to fix big problems.
