The Cheat
Principal Madeline Dewey is a cheat. For the past five years, she’s single-handedly raised her school’s scores on the state exams. With extraordinary skill and blatant deception, Dr. Dewey has turned Walt Whitman Middle School into an inspiring example of academic turnaround. But testing officials, jealous rivals, and even some of her own faculty grow suspicious. With the added attention, her methods for making the grade grow riskier and more extreme. The lies get bigger, the crimes grow uglier and more violent, as Dr. Dewey does whatever it takes to protect her scores.
A wry interrogation of contemporary education, The Cheat is a non-stop thriller full of clever confidence tricks, daring heists, and cold-blooded murder. All done for the noblest of the benefit of our children.
