Rating: *** (3 stars)
Age level: 9+
Type: Realistic fiction
May (not Maeve) doesn't like Miss Movado. At all. May calls her an avocado because of all the green she wears--Movado the Avocado. One day May defaces Miss Movado's classroom and is caught. She has two options: expulsion or one-on-one summer school with Miss Movado. May unwillingly chooses summer school. During this she discovers something about her mother--something to do with Miss Movado's past.
This book is pretty believable.The only thing kind of hard to believe is that Miss Movado...(SPOILER ALERT!!!)
took May out for breakfast and paid for it. Also Miss Movado and her friend jumped into a waterfall while skipping school, which I personally think is just plain crazy.
If you like books about real life, you might like this book.
