CONFESSIONS FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S CHAIR by Anna Myers
If you ever thought running a school would be fun, read Anna Myers' CONFESSIONS FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S CHAIR. It is the story of Robin (a.k.a. Bird) Miller.
Bird, standing 67 inches tall and wearing a navy suit, is mistaken for the new interim school principal, when she goes to register at her new middle school. She is attending a new school, because she and her clique played a cruel prank against a less popular girl in her previous school. Bird's mom would not tolerate such behavior and has moved both of them to Prairie Dog, Oklahoma.
Prairie Dog is a remote town, nothing like Denver, Colorado and Bird is furious, so furious only revenge keeps her going. Her life in Prairie Dog begins with her mother being arrested for kidnapping, when the local sheriff finds a notepad on the ground next to the Miller's car.
The opportunity to be the middle school principal what could not be better; this is real payback, and Bird is determined to make her mark on the school. This will be some prank, but life in the principal's chair is more than even she expected.
RECOMMENDED FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL READERS.
