My Teacher Is a Stand-Up Comedian

Eleven-year-old Ravi discovers that his ultra-strict math teacher Ms. Finch secretly performs stand-up comedy at a downtown club under the name Foxy Finch. When she catches him in the audience, a wild deal is struck — but the school talent show is about to make everything hilariously complicated.

Ravi Kapoor was eleven years old and had exactly two talents: eating an entire sleeve of cookies in under three minutes, and being completely invisible to teachers. He was the kind of kid who sat in the middle row, never raised his hand, and somehow survived fifth grade without a single detention.

His best friend Priya, on the other hand, had gotten detention four times this year alone — all from the same teacher. Ms. Finch. The strictest, most homework-assigning, gum-detecting math teacher in the entire history of Maple Creek Elementary.
