Class Mom: A Novel

by Laurie Gelman


Laurie Gelman's clever debut novel about a year in the life of a kindergarten

class mom--a brilliant send-up of the petty and surprisingly cutthroat terrain

of parent politics.



Jen Dixon is not your typical Kansas City kindergarten class mom--or mom in

general. Jen already has two college-age daughters by two different (probably)

musicians, and it's her second time around the class mom block with

five-year-old Max--this time with a husband and father by her side. Though her

best friend and PTA President sees her as the-wisest-candidate for the job (or

oldest), not all of the other parents agree.



From recording parents' response times to her emails about helping in the

classroom, to requesting contributions of-special-brownies for curriculum

night, not all of Jen's methods win approval from the other moms. Throw in an

old flame from Jen's past, a hyper-sensitive -allergy mom,-a surprisingly sexy

kindergarten teacher, and an impossible-to-please Real Housewife-wannabe,

causing problems at every turn, and the job really becomes much more than she

signed up for.



Relatable, irreverent, and hilarious in the spirit of Maria Semple this is a

fresh, welcome voice in fiction--the kind of novel that real moms clamor for,

and a vicarious thrill-read for all mothers, who will be laughing as they are

liberated by Gelman's acerbic truths.
