The voters have de-funded schools, the mayor has been drawn and quartered by an angry mob of townsmen, and Turtle Pond Park is stocked with claymore mines. Pete Robinson, third grade teacher with a 1:32 scale model of an Inquisition dungeon in his basement, wants to open a new school, and in his effort to do so he stumbles upon another idea: he needs to run for mayor. Uniquely hilarious, this novel is a horrifyingly insightful tale of a world not so very different from the one in which we live.","brand":"Random House Trade Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48392080425215,"sku":"9780593733561","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780593733561_s600x595.png?v=1779819494","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780593733561","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
