"A unique and imaginative work of satire... that adeptly intertwines humor and social critique." - Literary Titan"Gloriously absurd." - Kirkus Reviews"A wild Swiftian piece of imagination, as funny as it is urgent." - Self-Publishing ReviewSocially-conscious teens, educators, and adults will enjoy this humorous satire about the impact of book bans and extreme culture wars on schools. In this absurdist, coming-of-age adventure of 14-year-old Blaze Union, a teacher (narrator) develops absurdity neurosis from a book-banning rampage and follows his shrink's advice to find schools more ridiculous than his own. He discovers Blaze Union, who is expelled from Puddin' Head schools for resisting large hand rules in bootstraps class, soccer, leading the whole school in singing, and even thwarting a Sweetie cookie bomb attack. In an act of desperation, Blaze risks a vengeful Noble Deed against the Sweeties to convince the "supreme" prime minister to appoint her as the nation's education minister (boss). When Blaze inadvertently escalates the Puddin' Head vs. Sweetie culture wars, it seems that her plan might work. Then again, she doesn't know how extreme the Puddin' Head and Sweetie schools have become. And Blaze doesn't realize that Kai of the Sweeties-or something much more powerful-might stop her before she has the chance.Will the forces of absurdity prevail in the never-ending battle between the Puddin' Heads and the Sweeties? Or will Blaze Union change the course of history on Island Nation?
