Description
A witty and sharp tale of big mayhem in a small town. "... fans of Richard Russo (or even Garry Trudeau) will enjoy this lighthearted sendup of Texas high schools. A chatty, satirical novel about the smallness of small towns." - Kirkus Reviews
Paul Matthews won't be named teacher of the year at quirky Trails End High School in East Texas. Ever. Even if he wasn't antagonizing the brutish and moronic assistant football coach Anders, penning false newspaper letters questioning the manhood of the town's most prominent citizen (while pursuing his voluptuous wife Gina), and supervising a non-existent chess club.
When four new students arrive, they quickly discover a less-than-welcoming town and school. Displaced sophomores Smoke, Ink, Cowboy, and Dusty gravitate to the one teacher who doesn't care they're outsiders. Because he just doesn't care.
All this naturally leads to a disastrous homecoming spectacle, gut-wrenching food poisoning, a suspicious fire, the destruction of the football season, outlaws, and, of course, ZZ Top.
Homecoming is the first book of the light-hearted events taking place at Trails End. A funny novel of new friends in a strange new world.
