Sadly, I can't say that my high school ever had sexy or desirable teachers, so books of this nature always manage to fill that empty spot in my heart reserved for books featuring impossible high school cliches: such as handsome and sexy bad-boy jocks that fall for smart band nerds (never happens), aspiring journalists who publish the one article in the school newspaper that changes the way every other student thinks (definitely never happens), and your best friend of the opposite sex who has been madly in love with you for years, and you've never managed to see it.Ĭarolina "Nine" Livingston is an intelligent (near-genius) senior in high school always devoted to showing up for school and maintaining a high GPA. Teach Me initially caught my eye because I've always been drawn to the taboo story about a love affair between teacher and student. Nelson's first novel, which has won a number of children and teen's book awards, including Best Teen Novel.
