Blaze Union and the Puddin' Head Schools (ePub)

A fourteen-year-old is determined to become the boss of the nation's schools.

Welcome to Island Nation, where the rivalry between the Puddin' Heads and Sweeties is legendary. In this "gloriously absurd" adventure through today's social issues (Kirkus Reviews), Blaze Union is a spirited yet confused teen navigating the oddities of Puddin' Head existence. When her school is thrown into chaos by a cookie bomb, this soccer star and guitar-playing rebel is bizarrely expelled for defying "large hand" rules. Undeterred, Blaze's transforms her angst into unwavering resolve, aiming to become the boss of all schools despite having no clue how to teach a classroom, let alone lead a single school.

Yet as her mission to lead the nation's schools gains momentum, she faces an obstacle even more formidable than the outraged Sweeties: a "supreme" prime minister with tiny hands but a vast appetite for division. Will Blaze's ambitions be extinguished, or will she ignite a movement of liberation from lunacy?

Dive into a tale of courage, leadership, unity, maybe a few head butts, and the power of a good laugh in the face of absurdity. Grab your spoons, and let the uproar 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.
