August's roundup of New in Paperback titles includes THE SEEMS: THE GLITCH IN SLEEP, John Hulme and Michael Wexler's first book for young readers, in which a 12-year-old boy must risk everything in order to save the world from falling apart at the Seems; THE FRISKATIVE DOG by Susan Straight, a chapter book about a girl's relationship with an adorable plush yellow lab that her father gave her when she was five; MY HAUNTED HOUSE and THE SWORD IN THE GROTTO, the first two installments in Angie Sage's Araminta Spookie series; and WHAT-THE-DICKENS, a transporting tale-within-a-tale from Gregory Maguire about the strange world of skibbereen --- aka tooth fairies --- and the universal need to believe.
