Eight long years of grade school and nuns is about to end in freedom.
Graduation! But only if Mimi Maloney and her classmates Patrick and Tony
can outsmart investigators who suspect, and rightly so, they're guilty
of the worst crime ever in parish history. Mimi Maloney, an average
student who never gets in trouble, shows her genius in love and crime in
this tale of Catholic school kids enduring the last two weeks of eighth
grade. Police and church investigators conspire to learn who put the
stolen snow globe paperweight in the hand of Mary on the church roof,
and suspicion falls on Mimi's classmates, Patrick Cantwell and his best
friend Tony. A comic panorama of parish life in the 1970s, when lying to
get out of trouble was considered a sacred art form, because, after all,
wasn't President Nixon lying too? In this suspenseful, laugh-filled
sequel to Never Hug a Nun and Try to Kiss a Girl, award-winning author
Kevin Killeen gives us a caper plot of flawed heroes and lovable
villains that packs the comic blast of that old hand grenade dad brought
home from the war and that illustrates childish daydreams all too often
have adult, real-life consequences.
