About this item
By the acclaimed author of Moxie, this funny, bighearted adult debut is an ode to educators, a timely reflection on pressing school issues, and a tender character study featuring a sprawling cast of teachers, administrators, and staff at a Texas high school.

The Faculty Lounge offers a unique glimpse into school life, starting with the death of an elderly substitute teacher at Baldwin High School. Though the initial stir fades, the situation escalates a week later when his ashes are scattered on the school grounds, catching the attention of meddlesome parents and setting off a wild, bizarre, tragic, mundane, beautiful, and humorous year.

Amid the ensuing chaos and disciplinary threats, the novel delves into the lives of the faculty who exist beyond the classroom. We meet: a former punk band frontman turned middle-aged principal fighting to keep his job against a hostile school board; a no-nonsense school nurse who bends the rules to help a student in need; and a disgruntled English teacher who sparks controversy with a misdirected snarky email. And, amidst the turmoil, there’s a clandestine teacher make-out session in a supply closet during a lockdown.

As these characters navigate the messiness of the school year, they grapple with the future of Baldwin High. At its heart, this unconventional workplace novel celebrates the power of human connection and the joy of finding purpose in daily routines, reminding readers of the profound impact educators have on their communities.
