Minor dramas & other catastrophes / by Kathleen West. by West, Kathleen, 1978- Thorndike Press, a part of Gale, a Cenngage Company, 2020. Call #: LP FICTION WES Subjects High school teachers -- Fiction.   Parent-teacher relationships -- Fiction.   High schools -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781432881450 (hc.) Alternate title:  Minor dramas and other catastrophes Edition:  Large print ed. Description:  481 p. (large print) ; 23 cm. Summary:  "Class Mom meets Small Admissions in this wryly observed debut about the privileged bubble that is Liston Heights High--the micro-managing parents, the overworked teachers, and the students caught in the middle--and the fallout for each of them when that bubble finally bursts. Isobel Johnson can't stand helicopter parents like Julia Abbott, a stage mom whose world revolves around interfering in her children's lives. Julia resents teachers like Isobel, who effortlessly bond with students, including Julia's own teenagers, who've been pulling away from her more each year. Isobel has spent her career in Liston Heights side-stepping the community's high-powered families. But when she receives a threatening voicemail accusing her of Anti-Americanism and a "blatant liberal agenda," she realizes she's squarely in the fray. Rather than cowering, Isobel doubles down on her social-justice ideals, teaching queer theory in AP American Lit. Meanwhile, Julia, obsessed with the casting of the winter musical, inadvertently shoves the female lead after sneaking onto the school campus. The damning video goes viral and has far-reaching consequences for Julia and her entire family. With nothing to unite them beyond the sting of humiliation from public meltdowns, Isobel and Julia will find common ground where they least expect it, confronting a secret Facebook gossip site and a pack of rabid parents in a suburb where appearance is everything."--Publisher.
