Don't Check Out This Book! by Kate Klise
5.0
It's going to be an interesting school year at Appleton Elementary. New School Board President Ivana Beprawpa made uniforms mandatory with the only place to buy them being her shop. They've also got a new School Librarian Rita B. Danjerous who brings with her a mysterious "green dot collection" of books that kids can check out without their library card. Ivana doesn't like that Rita's daughter isn't wearing glove from her shop or that she has the "illicit" book collection and sets up a scheme to get Rita fired. Meanwhile, Ivana is also running short on money and creates a pickle fundraiser that she tries to force on the school.
The punny names in the book absolutely make it. It's written as a series of letters, emails, and memos making for a quick read. The only regret I have about the book is that it never actually tells you the titles of any of the "green dot" collection. I can make guesses, but I'm really curious which books the author thinks would be ones embarrassing to check out or dealing with tougher topics.
