There are a number of ways to inform oneself of the contents of a book, in addition to going to a library or book store and perusing it for yourself. In the case of Michael Buckley's young adult novel NERDS: M is for Mama's Boy, researching details of this book is quite easy. As noted, the most obvious way to get information about a book is by picking up a copy. Most book stores include "young adult" sections, where books like those by J.K. Rowling, Robert Kirkman, and many others can be found. In the case of Buckley's book, however, the children's section is where his NERDS series can be located, as these novels are written for younger children than those categorized as "young adults," in effect, teenagers.
Short of going to a library or book store, one can also research a book online, through websites and retailers like Amazon and goodreads.com. Amazon, in particular, provides professionally-written summaries and reviews as well as reader-provided reviews of the book in question. The link to Amazon's page dedicated to M is for Mama's Boy is provided below. In addition, the Wikipedia entry for Buckley's series of N.E.R.D.S. novels is provided below, and you can read brief "plot synopses" for each of the volumes in the series, and also read the descriptions of each character who appears in the novels.
Finally, a link is provided below to the federal Library of Congress's National Book Festival discussion of Michael Buckley, who was a featured author during the 2015 event. This website provides a useful interview with Buckley that should help to put your mind at ease with respect to his validity.
