The Cat Ate My Gymsuit by Paula Danziger
Thirteen year old Marcy lacks self-confidence and feels weighed down by problems: she's afraid of her father, convinced she's so fat she'll never have a date, and bored by school. Then along comes Ms Finney - a young, fun, new teacher - and life takes on new meaning. But just as things start to improve for Marcy, Ms Finney is suspended from school. Can Marcy stand up for herself - and her teacher - and fight for what she believes to be right?

Paula Danziger was born in Washington DC, because, her parents said, 'In that way no state could disown her'. A short while later the family moved to New Jersey where they remained, except for a brief time spent on a farm in Pennsylvania. Previously a teacher, Paula's first book, The Cat Ate My Gymsuit, was published in 1974. Since then she has written more than twenty books, including the bestselling Amber Brown series with Tony Ross. Paula lives in New York City, but spends a lot of time in London, when she isn't travelling the world. She likes reading, being with friends, shopping, playing pinball and putting stickers on everything.
