The Secret Life of Ms. Finkleman

Screen Shot 2015-09-08 at 9.44.12 PMThe final book I read this summer was titled The Secret Life of Ms. Finkleman by Ben H. Winters. The main characters of this book are name is Bethesda (She is an interesting seventh grader who loves mystery solving) and Tenny (the schools rock and roll wiz). The story really starts when Bethesda gets curious about the Music teacher Ms. Finkleman. But there seems to be some questioning as to who Ms. Finkleman really is. Bethesda gets more and more eager to solve the mystery.  But when she solves the mystery for a school project, the whole school finds out that Ms. Finkleman…is a retired ROCK STAR! But when Ms. Finkleman is pointed out that her past has been revealed Bethesda is realizing maybe she shouldn’t have solved the mystery. As the story goes on Ms. Finkleman decides to put on a rock and roll performance for the schools Coral Choral with the help of bethesda and Tenny. The grade is separated in to three groups to perform at the Coral Choral, music of the 60s, 80 and 90. The whole seventh grade over the corse of the year is transformed in to rock stars and leaves the audience of the Coral Choral speechless.
