IndieReader APPROVED Award, UPDATED with an editorial by the author: 'Flap Your Wings (and maybe stomp your feet a little)!” '...Even when the kids drive you crazy with their antics and continued disrespect, frustration can melt away in a moment and be replaced by a fierce love and desire to protect them from the injustice they have been dealt in life. 'Miss?' showcases these students and makes the reader fall in love with them through Maggie's eyes.'-Cindy Jewkes, Book Reviewer and Freelance Editor Written with love, humor, compassion, and exasperation, 'Miss?'--a contemporary novel based on actual events--presents an insider's view of the challenges teachers and students across the nation face in today's test-dominated public school system. Maggie McCauley--A feisty young Army veteran--believes her new life as a 7th grade English teacher will be a breeze. She finds out how wrong she is as she deals with out-of-touch administrators and an inappropriate security guard who resorts to violence. Despite knowing her school is targeted for closure, Maggie does everything in her power to help her struggling students succeed, often resorting to unconventional teaching methods. Aided by her peer team and her loveable scotch-drinking WWII veteran neighbor, she comes to terms with the reality of her situation. It doesn’t help that the tragedy of her past life interferes with her ability to move forward with new relationships. Ultimately, Maggie must make decisions that affect not only herself, but everyone around her.
