On Your Radar: September

One of the tools I have really been using a lot as I place my book orders is PW's On-Sale Calendar. Yes, I get the carts from B&T, but I'm often behind on going through them and there are so many titles in the carts that it sometimes takes more time than I have to go through them all. I like the On-Sale Calendar because it gives me a glimpse of the season's biggest titles and it's short enough to be convenient.

Here are some goodies coming out next month that you'll want to make sure are on your radar:

Children's

  

Cheerleaders of Doom (NERDS Book 3) by Michael Buckley (September 1) - If your kids are as crazy as mine are for the NERDS series, you won't want to miss this one!

Bumble-ardy by Maurice Sendak (September 6) - Sendak's first book since 1981!

 

Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick (September 13) - I loved, loved, loved this one!!

Every Thing On It by Shel Silverstein (September 20) - A posthumous collection.

 

You Have to Stop This by Pseudonymous Bosch (September 20) - Another popular series with my kids.

The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Stories by Dr. Seuss (September 27) - You have to be familiar with this one, if one to remember how to spell "Bippolo" when your patrons ask. :)




Teen

 

All These Things I've Done by Gabrielle Zevin (September 9) 

Modelland by Tyra Banks (September 13) - Love it or hate it, you should at least know about it.
