YOGA PANT NATION

The hilarious, irreverent Jen Dixon is class mom—again—for her son's fifth grade year, and a class bully, spin-teacher training, and her irresistible granddaughter keep her on her toes and perpetually in yoga pants.

The now beloved hero of Laurie Gelman's Class Mom and You've Been Volunteered has a lot on her plate this year, from childcare duties for her daughter's two-year-old to her determined mission to become a spin instructor. When her husband's ex-wife shows up to her first ever class as a full-fledged teacher—and compliments her performance!—she can't help but wonder what the catch is. As ever, humor is her best stress relief. Her acerbic emails to the class parents and friendly spars with her daughter over how organic is organic-enough for baby food will have you laughing out loud and texting Jen's best lines to your friends.

Laurie Gelman was born and raised in the Great White North. She spent twenty-five years as a broadcaster in both Canada and the United States before trying her hand at writing novels. The author of Class Mom and You've Been Volunteered, Laurie has appeared on Live With Ryan and Kelly, Watch What Happens Live, and The Talk, among others. She lives in New York City with her husband, Michael Gelman, and two teenage daughters.
