The Teacher of All Things

By Mark R. Benedict

Can students at an experimental adult-free school survive when faced with the ultimate threat? Longing to escape the boredom of his own routine school life, high school freshman Tom Stratford is offered a mysterious invitation to attend Millennial, a school free of teachers--indeed of all adults. Designed by the enigmatic Dr. Saudade, the cutting edge school collects the brightest minds and quickly secrets them to a remote self-sufficient campus in a grand experiment. As the students settle into the surprises of Millennial's design, they begin to flourish. The experimental school seems successfully until it is raided and held hostage by Labyrinth, a terrorist group led by the stern mercenary, Simon. Taking Tom's best friend, Su, as their leverage, they begin bargaining with Dr. Saudade while revealing to students the secret misdeeds of their parents. The presence of the hostage-takers and the psychological impact of their family secrets demand new strength and courage. As students reel with this new reality, Tom begins to unlock a Millennial mystery: a complex, room-sized puzzle. As he progresses, he's convinced it will lead to Su's release and freedom for them all. Simon's threats quickly grow more real and physical though. Tom knows if he does not somehow secure their release by solving the puzzle, experience will be a deadly teacher.
