About the Book The Cat Ate My Gymsuit
Marcy Lewis is an insecure teenager struggling with feelings of inadequacy. When Marcy meets Miss Finney, her unconventional English teacher. Miss Finney’s teaching methods are refreshing and liberating for Marcy and her classmates, but they also attract the ire of the school administration.
Conflict arises when Miss Finney is suspended for her unorthodox teaching style, which the school deems inappropriate. This event becomes a turning point for Marcy, who decides to stand up for something she believes in for the first time. The students rally behind Miss Finney, organizing protests and fighting for her reinstatement.
By the end of the book, Marcy undergoes significant personal growth. She learns to confront her insecurities, stands up to her domineering father, and begins to appreciate her own worth. The resolution may not tie up all the loose ends neatly, but it offers a realistic portrayal of teenage life and the complexities of growing up.
The story is set in the 1970s, but its themes are timeless. Marcy's struggles with self-esteem, societal pressures, and family dynamics mirror what many students experience today.
This Page Is Under Construction
It takes a long time to gather all the data for our new book page format with more useful descriptions, themes, and activity ideas. Meanwhile, this page is active so you can order books; it just isn't quite as informative or graphically appealing as the new page will be. Thanks for understanding! :-)
