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.
