Fire & Flood
by Victoria Scott is about a young teen girl named Tella. Her brother
is dying and one day Tella gets a package that offers a cure for her
brother, but she has to win a race. This is a great book with plenty of
good action and "wow" moments. I liked Tella right off. This one is a "must read." I look
forward to book two of this series!

"Flora & Ulysses" by Kate DiCamillo is a Fun Read (Juvenile)
Every so often I like to read a
fun book where I do not really have to figure out anything. Flora
and Ulysses by Kate DiCamillo is an enjoyable read that made me
chuckle. This book is about a young girl named Flora and a squirrel she
calls Ulysses. The story is pretty good and I especially liked the
illustrations! (4 stars)

Tuesday Teasers: Four for You
Gerard's:
Snow thudded off the branches of one of the apples trees, making Ruthie jump. Had something else moved, something deep in the shadows? She held her breath, waiting.
From page 57 of The Winter People by Jennifer McMahon. (Click link for my review)
The realization that I may be onto something slams into me. My parents tried to conceal this. My brother passed it off as a joke.
From page 20 of Fire & Flood by Victoria Scott.
Karen's:
David was able to answer every question! The nurse was blown away. She couldn't understand how someone with such extensive brain injury was answering questions as though nothing had happened.From location 294 on Kindle of Miracles--32 True Stories by Joan Hileman.(Click link for my review)
Sometime later Benjamin returned from a scouting trip, and after standing by the fire to warm himself for a bit, he turned to Meshach.From page 38 of Sisters of the Confederacy by Lauraine Snelling. (Book 2 of A Secret Refuge series)
"I found somethin' real interestin'."
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along, so I thought I would play for fun! Just do the following
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page (well, we cheat and choose specific ones)
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teaser.
