Williams Field High School instructor Cristina Mallon is at the center of a literary flap after complaints surfaced at a school board meeting about a book that she assigned to her freshman English students.

Battle lines are being drawn over the novel Jake, Reinvented, a modern-day version of The Great Gatsby, that some parents say they find disturbing.

The book, written by Gordon Kormon and released in 2003, talks about high school students at keg parties, where there's underage drinking and possibly sex.

"It's about popularity, social status, and, especially, wild, wild parties," according to Kormon.

The issue came to light when a man voiced his concerns at a school board meeting this week. Other parents have joined in the battle.

"There's no reason to have these kinds of books in school," said Sue McManus, a parent.

"There's no way I'd read my kid read this," McManus said.

Not all reaction has been negative. Another parent, Lori Monahan, said she didn't find anything wrong with the themes.

"I think it's something they should be learning about," she said.

A spokesperson for the Higley Unified School District said school officials plan to research the issue and see if the district approved the book for the curriculum

They also said they would investigate if the material in the book is being taught the way the teacher said she planned to.

Mallon, the school's cheerleading coach, received national focus earlier this month when she performed a classroom cheer in front of cheering and hollering students. The performance was captured on someone's cell phone and landed up as a YouTube video.

After being put on administrative leave, she has returned to the school.
