Hernandez is confident in front of his biology classes, but tongue-tied around the woman he most wants to impress. English teacher Lena Wright, a spoken-word poet, can never seem to truly connect with her students. But the teachers also face plenty of personal challenges and this year, they may finally spill over into the classroom. Perfect for fans of Tom Perrotta and Laurie Gelman, Roxanna Elden's intelligent and hilarious debut novel is a brilliantly entertaining and moving look at our education system.Įach new school year brings familiar challenges to Brae Hill Valley, a struggling high school in one the biggest cities in Texas. There’s still powerful chemistry between them, so the chase should be interesting…and could also be extremely dangerous. Morelli’s the inamorato who charmed Stephanie out of her virginity at age sixteen. Her first assignment: nail Joe Morelli, a former vice cop on the run from a charge of murder one. Stephanie knows zilch about the job requirements, but she figures her new pal, el-primo bounty hunter Ranger, can teach her what it takes to catch a crook. Out of work and out of money, Stephanie blackmails her bail-bondsman cousin Vinnie into giving her a try as an apprehension agent. She’s a product of the “burg,” a blue-collar pocket of Trenton where houses are attached and narrow, cars are American, windows are clean, and (God forbid you should be late) dinner is served at six. In Stephanie’s opinion, toxic waste, rabid drivers, armed schizophrenics, and August heat, humidity, and hydrocarbons are all part of the great adventure of living in Jersey. Meet Stephanie Plum, a bounty hunter with attitude.
