The Poison Pen of Aberdeen Prep Greg Beesch

Sedition. Mayhem. Unrestrained self expression. Not what the elite Upper Crust contemplate when shelling out the big money on prep school for their genetic spawn. Tommy Parrish, embroiled in his own private struggle with the mysteries of teen life, strikes a match to the dried out institutionalism of Aberdeen Preparatory. Anonymously, Tommy begins writing and distributing a derisive weekly flyer, 'The Poison Pen'. Tommy is transformed by the sudden, sweeping popularity of his satiric handbill. With increasingly artful dexterity, he manages his double life, secures the adoration of a girl, and wins acclaim from an ever increasing student audience. In turns his writing becomes ever more seditious and sparks an unintentional, yet pernicious public conflagration. The school's rigid establishment commences a fanatical hunt for the author, and the battle between authority and rebellion is joined. Tommy faces that overwhelming teen desire to get away with it all. Ink will be spilled!
