About the Book

School Scoundrelle is the sequel to School Scandalle. Molly Kelman, math teacher extraordinaire, returns to Merritt Country Day School in Palm Beach, Florida at the behest of its astute but equally eccentric Headmaster, Charles Long. Deciding that she belongs in the classroom, Molly forgives Charles for his previous academic betrayal. Professional jealousy from the Math Department Chair, math phobia from the Lower School Dean, and academic amateurism from the Middle School Dean all contribute to a problematic experience for Molly. Yet, when Charles promotes one of the threesome to Assistant Headmaster, bearable machinations transform into intolerable persecutions. Molly survives through personal strength rather than Charles’s support.
