The Secret Life Of Ms. Finkleman (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
I'm enjoying the idea, but there's an annoying little thing that keeps bugging me: the author keeps using first and last names together of the students, after they've been introduced, and some of those names are tricky. It really seems to slow down the reading aloud. Which is one reason why I advise anyone writing for MG or younger to read their texts aloud before publication. It makes a difference.***We were liking it just okay, and couldn't manage to finish it even when it was more than a week overdue at the library. Even though this one didn't rock us, I'd be willing to try the author again with the next book. "The Secret Life of Ms. Finkleman" is about a brainiac girl named Bethesda Feildings and a total spaced out kid named Tenny Boyer. It all started in a history project, solve your own mystery. Some other kids in Bethesda's class did stupid things like why hot dogs come in packeges in 12 when hot dog buns are in packeges of 8? Well Bethesda got a interesting one... what is Ms. Finkleman's real life? When she found a list of songs in Ms. Finkleman's drawer, is it ture... Did Ms. Finkleman used to be a rockstar? Suddenly, the school started going rock crazy, including Tenny, a rock obested kid. But is there more to the mystery though? Did Ms. Finkleman had a identical twin that was a rockstar?This really good book by Ben H. Winters makes a story about a mystery that nobady belived. I say this is mysteriouse and "clamfodle." This book deserves 4 stars!

Who was mild-mannered, mousy music teacher Ms Finklestein? A very school-based humorous mystery.
