Ashe in America welcomes back Julie Lavender Le Doux, author of The Amazings series, for a deep dive into the battle between wonder and conformity, as told through her brilliantly crafted children's books. Set in the eerie world of Greystone Heights, where only one family can see color and everyone else submits to the Prescribed Order, Julie's stories expose the mechanics of control, indoctrination, and spiritual warfare, all through accessible, hilarious, and heartfelt storytelling for kids and adults alike. They explore the themes of education system manipulation, the war on critical thinking, and the power of creation to fight back. From shadowy elders to weaponized science fairs, Ashe and Julie unpack the relevance of these books in today's upside-down world and talk about why stories like this might be our best tools for preparing the next generation. Plus, a look ahead to book three and why homeschoolers everywhere need to get these on their shelves.
