Young Adult:
Once Upon a Con #1: Geekerella by Ashley Poston
Part romance, part love letter to nerd culture, and all totally adorbs, Geekerella follows Danielle "Elle" Wittimer, an ordinary geek with the ordinary geeky dream of attending ExcelsiCon.

Two all-expense-paid floor tickets to ExcelsiCon, a invitation to the Cosplay Ball, plus a meet-and-greet with Darien Freeman, the dreamy actor slated to play Federation Prince Carmindor in the reboot.
Teen actor Darien Freeman used to live for cons — before he was famous. Now they’re nothing but autographs and awkward meet-and-greets. As ExcelsiCon draws near, Darien feels more and more like a fake — until he meets a girl who shows him otherwise. Get in on the geeky fairy tale with the Geekerella discussion guide!
