Story about a teacher with a rockstar past-life; weak morals.
Plot
Bethesda Fielding has just discovered the biggest secret Mary Todd Lincoln Middle School's ever had - that their quiet, shy music teacher was really the lead singer of a punk band years ago. Chaos and a friendship ensues.
Morality
This book's main characters do not have very many positive qualities about them: Bethesda and her friend Tenny cheat on the biggest history test of the year (and the book doesn't say anything about the consequences); a girl's parents encourage her not to give up her plans on blackmailing someone; Bethesda's prying ruins the privacy of Ms. Finkleman, and the teacher also lives a big lie that is only discovered towards the end of the book.

Conclusion
This could have been a much better story had the negative actions of the characters been punished. The idea of a quiet teacher having been a legendary rock star is quite fresh - parents encouraging their kid to blackmail and the constant misuse of God's name, on the other hand, are not.
