Went to Haslam’s Bookstore in St. Pete yesterday and picked up a used copy of Garcia Lorca’s 3 Tragedies, featuring cover art by Alvin Lustig, one of my favs of all time. So win.

My Teacher Is An Alien
by Bruce Coville
When you are a kid in elementary school you ALWAYS judge a book by its cover. Unless they are those Choose Your Own Adventure books; those are never as fun as the cover makes them out to be. But when in doubt, always trust the one with the teacher ripping his face off to reveal his true alien identity. It’s more than a safe bet.
