One-Third Nerd is a children's book by Gennifer Choldenko, illustrated by Églantine Ceulemans.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ten-year-old Liam Rose lives in a basement apartment with his mother, his science-obsessed eight-year-old sister Dakota, his seven-year-old sister Izzy, who has Down Syndrome, and their German shepherd Cupcake. Recently Cupcake has developed a problem - after years of being housebroken, she's suddenly started peeing inside again. If the landlord Mr. Torpse finds out, he'll make them get rid of Cupcake. The family needs $3,000 so Cupcake can go to the veterinary school at UC Davis for further study, but both their mother and their divorced father are cash-strapped. Can the siblings raise the money themselves?

Calling Parents by Their Name: Dakota calls Mom Kimberly because she's "trying it out." Mom answers, "The name Mom has been around for thousands of years. I think it's a keeper."

Healthcare Motivation: Dakota sells her purple sequin slippers on eBay. Then she steals Liam's collection of Bigfoot memorabilia and Izzy's stuffed horses and sells them too. Liam is furious with her for stealing, but she justifies it by saying that Cupcake is more important than their things.
