Revenge of the Soccer Moms M E Levine

When Karma and her friends take on trouble in their suburban neighborhood, things quickly spin out of control. It starts when a speeding car hits a child, and the moms find (and punish) the culprit before the cops get a chance. Is this justice or vigilantism? Is there a difference? And what moms could stand by after a teenager flashes their young daughters on the playground? Not these moms. Between fighting crime and bickering with each other, the moms contend with over-the-top kid birthday parties, escaped boa constrictors, and the humiliation of being late for preschool pickup. Then an obnoxious neighbor turns out to be a wife-beater, and the moms go full-on vigilante. He has to be stopped. Suddenly their quiet neighborhood is overrun with satellite TV trucks and well-coiffed reporters. And it may turn out that the moms have been manipulated all along by someone even more clever and devious than themselves.
