alternate title: young children gawk at flaming homosexuals
Another alternate title: the bailey school kids need to mind their own damn business
the covers with women are equally gay
so basically having these obnoxious kids pry into your personal life is mlm/wlw solidarity
So am i the only one thinkinf the ghoul looks cute asf or
Seriously…every cover is like this
How do you sustain a premise like this for at least 40 books? Do they live in a world where magic and monsters are real, or is it a “Teacher From the Black Lagoon” type situation where they just think someone is a monster but in the end it turns out they’re human after all? If they are actually monsters and deities, then why are the kids surprised every single time? Is it like the X-Files and the kids are all Scully, convinced that the supernatural isn’t real despite proof that it is?
I read them as a kid, and it’s actually kept right in the middle where it could go either way. Any of the characters has an equal chance of being a supernatural creature playing human pretty badly or being the oddest damn people in existence, although the kids are usually convinced that the adults are supernatural.
2. The pigtailed girl on the sea monster cover is absolutely experiencing Step One of her gay awakening
3. I also read the books as a kid and I’m pretty sure the redheaded boy in the baseball cap is the skeptic in literally every one of these (so you’re not exactly wrong with the Scully thing).
4. “How do you sustain a premise like this for at least 40 books?” is something that could be said about every single one of these little Scholastic series with the #numbers on the cover that I was surrounded by as a kid and I don’t know how but they looked us in the eye and they fucking did
