The Scapegoat

This book is about Christie having problems with her science teacher, Miss Finney, at her new school in London. Christie's always made fabulous grades, especially in science, and suddenly she's gettting D's and C's. The problem is, Christie KNOWS she's doing all her assignments right, Miss Finney is purposely NOT being fair. Christie doesn't know what to do, until she hears about the school's annual science fair and decides that by winning it, she can prove herself to Miss Finney. This book was sort of boring to me, but I still liked it. Sideplots are: Christie trying to figure out what to do about Chase and Connie- she likes them both, but is it realistic to not date Connie here in England because she likes Chase still, even though she might never see Chase again? AND Jana is writing to Christie asking for advice on whether she should break up with boyfriend, Randy, who she's been dating for a year or so.
