Temptations of St. Frank

A rollicking coming-of-age comedy set in 1970s New Jersey, from a multiple award–nominated author.

In this hilarious and biting novel, seventeen-year-old Frank Grimaldi wants one thing more than anything else—to have sex before he graduates. Too bad his crazy teachers, his insane parents, the Catholic Church, and the Mafia are all standing in the way . . .

From the author of Bad Apple and the Anthony Award finalist Devil’s Food, this is an involving and entertaining story of a parochial high school and the many intrigues—romantic and otherwise—of its students.
