Good win vs. Monessen in soccer! 2-0!
Welcome to Todd Gallagher's official book site! Hi, I'm Jill! Todd is a best-selling author who has re-enrolled in high school this semester in Pittsburgh. I will be making the posts he sends me between school, soccer, and sleeping.

About Todd Vs. High School
Todd Gallagher is a critically-acclaimed author, ESPN writer, '95 high school grad, and current Trinity Christian High School student. He is very thankful to Trinity for admitting him as a 33-year-old writer researching a book.
Investigation and Research
In Todd’s first book Andy Roddick Beat Me With A Frying Pan, he tackled compelling questions and stopped at no boundary to find answers. Todd Vs. High School answers questions, too, except instead of questions like Could a morbidly obese goalie shut out an entire NHL team?", these questions will be about "the best years of our lives."
Naturally, the only way to find out those answers was to re-enroll in high school for one semester, leave L.A., and move back in with his parents in Pittsburgh, which is exactly what Todd did.

A High Schooler Full Of Questions ('91-'95)
In the 90's, Todd hated high school so much he was kicked out of two of them. He graduated as the only National Merit Scholar with a 1.7 GPA. He received a 4% in Spanish.
A High Schooler Answering Questions (Fall '09)
Like the Andy Roddick book did with sports, Todd Vs. High School answers peoples' burning questions. Teens' burning questions from, "Why is getting your high school diploma so important?" to "How can I get invited to parties?" to "How do I hide a fart in class?". And adults' burning questions, like "If you had the chance to do high school all over again, could you do it right?" and "Should I spy on my teen's AIM chats?"

Because of his unique interest in answering questions, The LA Times once referred to him as "Plimpton on Acid".
