Suitcase Was Full of Tuesday / The Eighth of the Month Was Half Price

Mabel wanted one more day of holiday, so she packed a spare Tuesday in her suitcase. Unfortunately, it is a working Tuesday. When the zipper bursts inside June's diner, the extra day spills out with appointments, a school bell, and enough confusion to make everything happen twice. Two clocks compete above the counter, two Arthurs dispute their biscuits, and even June has to share the lunch shift with herself. A postcard of an empty beach might offer Tuesday somewhere to rest-if everyone can help him get there.Then someone steals the eighth of the month. The ferret has opened a stall selling spare time beside the bathroom, and June wants the date returned. When Elliot drops the orange eight sideways, infinity takes over the diner. The receipt keeps printing, a strand of spaghetti refuses to end, and the moon's lemonade refills without stopping. Getting lunch back to normal may be as simple as turning a problem upright.The Suitcase Was Full of Tuesday and The Eighth of the Month Was Half Price collects Books Six and Seven of Come Sideways with Me for a Minute. These connected comic fantasy stories follow Elliot, June, Arthur, and Len through two wonderfully inconvenient encounters with time. Expect talking objects, dry humor, impossible meals, and kindness in the middle of the mess.
