Publisher's summary

It takes a starship to raise a child. Or a time machine. Or a tribe of elves. Fortunately, Geek Parenting offers all that and more, with thoughtful mini essays that reveal profound child-rearing advice (and mistakes) from the most beloved tales of geek culture.

Nerds and norms alike can take counsel from some of the most iconic parent-child pairings found in pop culture: Aunt May and Peter Parker, Benjamin and Jake Sisko, Elrond and Arwen, even Cersei and Joffrey.

Whether you're raising an Amazon princess, a Jedi Padawan, a brooding vampire, or a standard-issue human child, Geek Parenting helps you navigate the ion storms, alternate realities, and endless fetch quests that come with being a parent. Includes parenting experts from across time and space, such as:

  • Luke and Vader
  • Korra and Tenzin
  • Wednesday and Morticia Addams
  • Frodo and Bilbo
  • Rose and Jackie Tyler
  • Carl and Michonne
  • Thor, Loki, and Odin
  • Starbuck, Apollo, and Adama
  • Stewie and Lois
  • Sarah Manning and Mrs. S.
  • T'Challa and T'Chaka
  • Spock, Sarek, and Amanda
  • Claudia and Lestat
