Harriet Manners weet best veel. Zo weet ze dat een gemiddeld mens 100 kilo per jaar eet, al doet haar zwangere stiefmoeder hard haar best hier overheen te gaan. Maar wat Harriet níét weet is wat haar rol binnen het gezin wordt als de baby er straks is. Een modellenklus in Japan is dé kans om er tussenuit te glippen. Zal Geek Girl haar draai vinden aan de andere kant van de wereld?
'Mijn naam is Harriet Manners en ik ben een "geek". Ik weet dat omdat ik het net heb opgezocht in het woordenboek. Ik heb een vinkje gezet naast de symptomen die ik herken, en ze blijken allemaal op mij van toepassing! Eerlijk gezegd komt het niet als een enorme verrassing.' Harriet Manners weet best veel; zo weet ze dat een mens gemiddeld 15 keer per dag lacht, hommels niet kunnen lopen, en dolfijnen met één oog open slapen. Ze is geen nerd, maar een charmante allesweter - een geek, zeg maar. Er is alleen één ding waar ze absoluut niets van begrijpt: mode. Maar hier komt verandering in als ze op een dag wordt gecast als model en besluit dat dit dé kans is om van haar geeky imago af te komen. Terwijl ze in hilarische situaties belandt, komt ze erachter dat er niet bepaald een klik is met de modewereld. Maar kan ze nog teruggaan naar de oude Harriet die ze ooit was?
