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
- 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.
I knew a lot of words, but I couldn't read a book. I had a million thoughts in my head, but I couldn't share them with anybody. On top of that, people didn't really expect the kids in H-5 to learn much anyway.From page 45 of Out of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper. Click the link to see my review of this one.
Alone in this spooky castle, I crept down the stairs, and then ran down the hallway to the fire-escape door. A heavy chain hung from one side, but had no padlock. Panting, I flung the door open, realizing the next time I came back here the building would be filled with kids.From page 27 of The Emergency Teacher--The Inspirational Story of a New Teacher in an Inner City School by Christina Asquith.

Gerard's:
The cake smelled lemony as it baked. My mother handed her parenting class completion certificate to Mr. Ferris. "There's only a few more tasks on my list before you can come home with me," she said to me.From page 89 of Three Little Words by Ashley Rhodes-Courter.
