BOOK DESCRIPTION FROM BACK COVER:
The Nanny Diaries meets Lucky Jim in this devilish satire
of the culture of power and privilege at a New York City private school.
John Spencer, an English teacher at the elite Academy X, is struggling
through the final weeks of the spring semester. But keeping his students
focused on the genius and wit of Jane Austen is the least of his problems.
His crush on the sexy librarian is beginning to warp his judgment. An
unexpected promotion leaves him drowning in a sea of academic intrigue.
Pushy parents demanding higher grades lurk behind every corner and a
favorite pupil suddenly reveals a cunning and sophistication far beyond her
years. With each bumbling effort to keep everyone happy (and get his girl!),
John digs himself deeper into trouble, until his very career is at stake.
Witty and rollicking, Academy X is a priceless peek into New York City's top
private schools-indeed into elite schools all over the country-where parents
risk all for their child's academic resume and no price is too high (or
pressure too great) to achieve a coveted admission to Harvard, Yale, or
Princeton.
