Blaze Union and the Puddin’ Head Schools
A gloriously absurd dystopian adventure.
Trusted Allies,
Reporting back from the surreal landscape of Island Nation, I regret to say that the supreme prime minister, wielding power as grand as his hands are small, has not only engineered one of the greatest campaigns of collective delusion in modern history, he’s appointed incompetent politicians to lead the nation’s schools. I thought my wild teaching experiences were absurd, but the Puddin’ Head vs. Sweetie culture wars here have taken school lunacy to an entirely new level. The situation has become so dire that Blaze Union, a rising 14-year-old rock star and soccer phenom, has emerged as the country’s last beacon of hope. The stakes are high, and I can’t reveal more without risking everything. For now, I can only watch in awe as Blaze’s ambitions collide with the upheaval around her. As she says:
Spoons up!
