Produktbeschreibung

No one thinks that Blaze Union will become the boss of Puddin' Head Schools. But what if powerful knuckleheads could make her dream come true?

On one level, Blaze Union and the Puddin' Head Schools is the "gloriously absurd" adventure (Kirkus Reviews) of a teen's epic attempts to lead and change Puddin' Head Schools, as told by a dedicated and surly teacher. On another level, this 2023 Mark Twain Book Award finalist is a satirical exploration of today's educational absurdities and the social construction of prejudice, polarization, and power. At a deeper level, this story delves into existential questions within a seemingly ludicrous world. For teens and adults.

Dear Reader,

I regret to inform you that powerful knuckleheads have spun Island Nation Schools into new levels of absurdity, and the conflict between the Puddin' Heads and the Sweeties is utter madness. I met Blaze Union, a spirited yet befuddled fourteen-year-old Puddin' Head, who was reprimanded for questioning MegaCorp book bans, scolded for resisting spoon combat training, attacked by vengeful Sweeties at her school, and to top it off, expelled for the twenty-third time for playing soccer and guitar with "large hands."

But Blaze is not your average Puddin' Head. Undaunted, she vowed to become the big boss of schools. And get this: Despite public ridicule, impossible odds, and an island of outraged Sweeties, Blaze has suddenly risen as the Puddin' Heads' greatest hope for leading the nation's schools. Alas, those powerful knuckleheads stand in her way, especially one with tiny hands, but a noggin as monstrous as his appetite for division.

Yes, this story is a fight for freedom. But does Blaze have the courage to ignite an educational revolution? Or will she join the knuckleheads to reach her dreams? Join Blaze and catapult into a journey of wackadoodle schools, epic showdowns, and a very strange quest for liberation. Strap on your spoon helmet and let the adventure begin!

Gloriously absurd... Kosmos employs a conversational style throughout the narrative and portrays Blaze as larger than life but still relatable... a sense of silliness carries the day, and Blaze's escapades are often delightfully funny.
