Spell the Month in Books September 2022

Hi hi all!

Nichijou, Calendar

It is September and that means I am welcoming you to a new Spell the Month in Books!! Welcome!

Gosh, this one was HARD! Well, OK, I found S E P T M B quite soon because they are books I need to review. However finding two other Es and one R? It took me a while to find those, and in the end I just went with author name because I wasn’t in the mood to search any further. And I did want to use books I still want to read. Make more E books, please!

The School for Little Monsters, Volume 1: It's Tough Being Flop by BéKa, Bob, Graphic Novel, School, Monsters, Cute, Children's BookA school that encourages students to sleep in, misbehave, solve problems by erasing them off the board, and wreak havoc wherever they go… sounds perfect, right? For most people in Monster Land, yes! But all Flop wants to do is learn. Much to his parents’ great disappointment, he insists on getting to school on time, on reading books, keeping a clean room and playing with his telescope and chemistry set. As shown in a series of short stories, it’s tough being a smart nerd in a place full of dummies who love to destroy things for the fun of it!

The Trophy Case (The Wright Detective #2) by Kelly Swan Taylor, Mystery, Middle Grade, Young Adult, Sports, FriendshipTessa and the TSLR Detective Agency are back on the case for a sleuthy summer adventure…

The basketball team’s State Championship trophy is missing!

Teen super sleuth Tessa Wright and her TSLR Detective Agency are determined to bring the trophy home before eighth grade starts in the fall. At first glance, it should be easy, especially with the crime caught on video. But you could have knocked them over with a feather when the perpetrator is disguised as Greeneville Heights’ own Falcon mascot!

It’s not like Tessa’s detective dad and the trusted Greeneville police force can swoop in to help. They’re too swamped with a relentless string of downtown break-ins, crippling local businesses.

The Falcon isn’t the only mystery circling Tessa’s head. It’s boys—specifically adorable emerald-eyed Mason Greene. Hanging out during summer vacation is a blast, but is it just as friends? Tessa is resolved to find out in the most sleuthy way possible: by putting Mason under her magnifying glass!

When she’s not training for the upcoming cross-country season, Tessa and her spunky new kitten cool off poolside. With so many suspects hovering, the case heats up. Instead of winging it, Tessa calls on her friends to investigate what connects them all. As the summer flies by and their carefree days are numbered, they must bring the trophy back to its rightful place in the case.

Sally Skellington is the official, newly-minted Pumpkin Queen after a whirlwind courtship with her true love, Jack, who Sally adores with every inch of her fabric seams — if only she could say the same for her new role as Queen of Halloween Town. Cast into the spotlight and tasked with all sorts of queenly duties, Sally can’t help but wonder if all she’s done is trade her captivity under Dr. FInkelstein for a different — albeit gilded — cage. But when Sally and Zero accidentally uncover a long-hidden doorway to an ancient realm called Dream Town in the forest Hinterlands, she’ll unknowingly set into motion a chain of sinister events that put her future as Pumpkin Queen, and the future of Halloween Town itself, into jeopardy. Can Sally discover what it means to be true to herself and save the town she’s learned to call home, or will her future turn into her worst… well, nightmare
