Synopsis

Big changes are coming to Forest River Elementary School!

When PTA President Jackie Martin’s husband suffers a life-threatening car accident, she has no choice but to step down from her dream position. Unfortunately, the team is already short-staffed and struggling to fill the vacancy.

Only one woman is brave enough to step up and take over the reins, Ella Jamerson.

Mom to a first-grader, Ella has kept a low profile since her daughter entered the school because she has a huge secret. She’s actually Eleanor Saint James, the Emmy award-winning actress.

Tired of sitting idly by, Ella’s willing to risk her anonymity for a say in the schools’ politics. But when the team learns who their new leader really is, will they be able to handle the drama she’s about to bring?

Review

 

The town’s favorite PTA is back with a new leader at the helm.

This has been such a fun series to read. I love the cattiness, the friendships that develop, and the craziness of the situations as a whole. Are all PTAs like this? We will never know!

The new leader of this group is an actress, Ella. She has been absent from events at the school or in disguise so she didn’t make it harder for her daughter to attend school. You know how people can get with celebrities.

However, Ella decides that it is time to act after reading an email from the Principal of the school. Her new role is not without bumps, but I love how it all comes together.

While we don’t see much of the previous PTA President Jackie, just a few email responses, I felt like the rest of the characters helped fill in the gaps and provide tension at just the right time, and offset Ella’s dry wit and no-nonsense attitude.

This is a series that is entertaining, and it makes me glad that I never had to deal with a PTA. I also loved Ella’s husband, Conrad. He really steps up at times and is supportive of her career.

If you want to read this book, start with the first to see the character development.

We give it 4 paws up.
