After a murder at Bonaire Elementary, Richard and Anna Lee Gray seek a good school for their son Nick in a safe neighborhood. Their search leads them to Malliford, a “school of excellence.” When redistricting sends scores of minority students to Malliford, iron-willed Principal Estelle Rutherford declares war on kids to raise test scores and save her reputation. Dissident parents revolt, electing Richard to head the Parent-Teacher Organization, and tensions explode.

Welcome to Chain Gang Elementary, home to vast right-wing conspiracies, 3rd-grade gangsters, testing scandals, and bake sale embezzlers–where toxic childhood secrets boil over, reformers go stark raving mad, and culture wars escalate into armed conflict. A tale of war that is poignant, timely, and brutally funny, Chain Gang Elementary is a One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest for the K-6 world.

Reviews: "The reason this story works so well is Jonathan Grant's gift for writing comedy. As is always the case, the serio-dramatic aspects of a story are best revealed through the words of parody come laugh out loud technique: the events that could become static and tedious in the fights between the principal and the parents who demand more than the status quo as quality education versus test preparation and scoring is concerned become diving boards for Grant's manipulation of characters and incidents that in the end are hilarious."
