Gideon Versus the Gods of Cool (Pre-Order Today for Free Shipping)

Gideon Greenwich, a delinquent nerd, is given two choices: join the football team or be expelled.

To be “initiated” into the team, Gideon attends a violent fraternity party, where he has a startling discovery: the jocks are being controlled by an evil god of sports! As the conspiracy unfolds, it appears that the entire school has been hijacked by otherworldy beings posing as teachers. To resist their dark powers, Gideon must look beyond social cliques and team up with star quarterback Doug Rock and the beautiful cheerleader Cynthia McDaniels.

Together, the unlikely friends take on the god of sports, the goddess of fashion, and the god of popularity. But defying “the gods of cool” takes courage, a willingness to look stupid, and mind-bending adventures through parallell universes.

In this thoughtful and hilarious critique of high school life, National Award-winning storyteller Stephen Gashler will make you question what it means to be “cool.”

GIDEON VERSUS THE GODS OF COOL has been picked up by Beacon Publishing Group and will released on April 26th 2019. Pre-order today for free shipping!
