Soon to be publishing the much-anticipated Third Season of NATDWS!
The Passion! The Drama!! THE SCANDAL!!!
The trouble begins and ends with a Golden Apple. The setting is a Catholic high school in Wisconsin of the early 2000s. Chaos ensues when the romantic intrigues of a popular football player collide with the casting of a school musical. It probably doesn’t help that the musical is a new adaptation of the ancient story about a golden apple whose disputed ownership literally causes wars!
Meanwhile, the teachers are consumed with their own infighting, and are not above using students as pawns in their campaigns against each other. But most baffling is what senior Viola Metoxen determines to figure out: somebody keeps pulling mean-spirited pranks on bystanders, and those who get blamed insist they have been framed!
The evidence points to one person, acting under cover of anonymity.
The only questions are: who, and why?
If you enjoyed Matilda by Roald Dahl, or Big Little Lies starring Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman, you’ll quickly turn the pages of this puzzle-box mystery which doubles as a tart examination of lives at the margins, in a privilege-intoxicated school haunted by corruption.
