n*A 2014 Bronze IPPY Award Winner* *A 2014 IndieReader Approved Read* At 23, shy, quirky Addison Taylor is a responsible adult. At least, thats what she put on her job application. Addy hated high school on her first go round, often referred to as Potato Face as she read a book in the corner. And now, on her first day as an English teacher, shes pretty sure she wont make it through this second serving of hell. Unfortunately, she needs a paycheck. She certainly cant rely on her unstable boyfriend. And then theres the rag-tag debate team shes forced to coach - kids who want a way out of Oceanside as bad as she does. She has to prove she can do this, that she can be a functioning cog in the wheel of adulthood. It wont be easy. Shes faced with a condescending boss, a teens bloody secret, a perpetually angry co-worker, a criminal investigation, a natural disaster, and desperate teens. Like all of us, she must find the courage to open her smart mouth, let her voice fly. If she doesnt get this right, shell fail. Worse, so will the kids. This is one of those stories that you find yourself thinking about long after you turn the last page. It lingers, leaves a mark on you. As many have said, it is laugh out loud funny ... but it has a heart, a warmth, that makes you care about the characters. - Terri Wallace, author of A Sort of Homecoming
