Wordtwist Academy

Wordtwist Academy is a book series written by Kelly S., also known as Beatrice and/or Kells. The series mostly focuses on three students whom are enrolled in the fictional Jonathan Keypenn Prep Middle School, and their unusual adventures. The main gimmick of the story is that many of the names of the characters and places have a sort of pun in them; notably the school itself, in which its shortened name, "Joe Keypenn Prep", itself is a pun on "jokey pun".

As of 2018; the first novel, titled A Twist of Words, is under progress; a forthcoming novel, which may be released in December of the same year, will be titled Punning Up a Blizzard.
