fullDescription

This program is read by the author.

From the author of Class Mom and You've Been Volunteered comes Laurie Gelman's next laugh-out-loud novel Smells Like Tween Spirit.
As a new Mat Mom of the Pioneer Middle School (PMS) Wrestling team, Jen Dixon finds herself thrown in the middle of the "guerrilla war against so-called perfect mothers," armed only with her cutting wit and acerbic sense of humor. (New York Times Book Review)
Handling a whole host of new challenges, from the dreaded seventh-grade science fair to a school fundraiser (again!), Jen faces the somewhat-terrifying new social dynamics of the wrestling moms with her trademark combination of reluctance and exceptional delivery.
Between school events and teaching spin classes, Jen finds herself fully immersed in sports mom competitiveness. These parents seem perfectly unassuming, until their kids start to wrestle, and they become raging pubescent monsters. Learning to navigate this new world while fielding calls from the principal because of Max's newfound misogynistic behavior, Jen steels herself for the indignities of middle-school life—with her loyal spin class attendees and her bossy four-year-old granddaughter giving her the strength she needs to press on.
Mix in a Parent Night, New Year's Party, and Valentine's Day Dance, and Jen Dixon certainly has her hands, and her calendar, full. And through it all, Jen continues to charm with her riotously funny quips and memorable one-liners.
A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt and Co.

     June 27, 2022
     In the winsome fourth installment of Gelman’s Class Mom series (after Yoga Pant Nation), a middle-aged woman balances supporting her son’s newfound interest in wrestling and caring for her aging parents. After Jen’s seventh-grade son, Max, decides to join his school’s wrestling team, Jen surprises herself by signing up to be a team “Mat Mom” and getting sucked into a wrestling mom subculture with tacky custom T-shirts, road trips to matches, and a feud with another mom who challenges Jen to a charity wrestling match. Jen also juggles the demands of her job as a spin instructor with caregiving duties for her elderly father, who has dementia. She devotes an increasing share of her time to watching him while her mother plays bridge at an assisted living center where her mother’s ex-boyfriend now lives, raising Jen’s suspicions. As Jen’s commitments begin to overwhelm her and her father’s health deteriorates, she relies on her fellow wrestling moms more than she ever expected. Readers will speed through this witty, pithy tale that brings back Jen’s lovable snark to delightful effect. This winning sequel lives up to its predecessors.
