Combine the middle school appeal of Andrew Clements with the madcap adventure of School of Rock and you get Ben H. Winters’ irresistible tween novelThe Secret Life of Ms. Finkleman!
It all starts with a special project in Mr. Melville’s history class: Solve a mystery in your own life. For seventh grader Bethesda Fielding, one mystery is too tempting to ignore—Ms. Finkleman. Bethesda is convinced that her mousy music fundamentals teacher is hiding a secret life, but no one is prepared for what she learns. Ms. Finkleman used to be...a rock star?! But the case isn’t quite closed, and Bethesda and her friend Tenny won’t stop until they solve the Finkleman mystery once and for all!
Part rollicking adventure, part quirky mystery, and 100 percent fun, The Secret Life of Ms. Finkleman is a perfect story for both boys and girls. Readers will wish they were in this seventh grade class, and will long to ROCK like Bethesda and her friends.
“With The Secret Life, Winters applies a light touch that fuses youthful, scholarly exuberance with the inspirational power of rock ’n’ roll. A fast-paced and unjaded book that is sure to delight.”I've always wanted a continuation to the movie School of Rock. I remember seeing the credits roll and thinking that I needed more. So in a way, I feel like I'm getting that with this book, SLoMF, sounds like a rollicking good time. I can't wait! We can also look forward to the upcoming sequel, The Mystery of the Missing Everything coming September 20, 2011- details to follow.
