Happy Book Birthday, Jennie!
Finding out you were wrong about something important can be a let down. But Poppy is pleased to learn she's not just a Monday. She's a Cusper, a weekday lucky enough to have TWO powers. Poppy's elation is short-lived when she, Ellie, Logan, and Sam return to Power Academy as camp counselors, only to find themselves out of their element and struggling with the new drama teacher and his disaster of a school musical. When some campers go missing, Poppy and her team of weekdays are on the case. Soon, Poppy begins to realize that much like her powers, the seemingly-perfect town of Nova has some flaws, and the origin of her powers is as questionable as Headmistress Clothes-too-tight Larriby's choice in outfits.If only there were more days in the week!

***EXCERPT***
I
thought back to our homework from last night, but nothing came to me.
Sometimes I wished that my Monday power could conjure up answers just
as quickly as it allowed me to move things with my mind.
I
glanced over at my former archenemy, Ellie Preston, and tried to read
the answer from her head. She shook her head two times, meaning she
had no idea what the answer was. Ellie had many strengths, but
mathematics was definitely not one of them.
“That’s
what I thought, Miss Mayberry,” Mr. Salmon said through a smile.
The class giggled.
As
he turned his back to me and walked down the aisle, I read his mind,
that’s what you get
for making fun of my stylish hair.
“I
wouldn’t call it stylish,” I said quietly, not knowing what
compelled me to say it aloud when I could have just thought it right
back at him. I hoped he hadn’t heard me, but the look in Mr.
Salmon’s eyes told me otherwise.
“Excuse
me, Poppy?” Mr. Salmon said, walking back toward my seat. His hair
bounced with each step and I chuckled to myself. At this point, all
eyes were on me.
I
responded confidently, “I just said I wouldn’t call your hair
stylish.” Giggles came from every direction. Did I seriously just
make fun of my teacher in front of the class? This would so not be
good.
