Hello! I'm looking for books appropriate for grades 6-8 with great first sentences/attention-getters. Example from Whales on Stilts by M.T. Anderson "On Career Day Lily visited her dad's work with him and discovered he worked for a mad scientist who wanted to rule the earth through destruction and desolation." Thanks!

They are like mirrors, too, reflecting places I've been, phases I've been through, people I've loved or thought I did." ~Mary Schmich, "Virtual or Not, Libraries are Sweet Labor" -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
