Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following!
- Grab your current read.
- Open to a random page.
- Share a few teaser sentences from somewhere on that page.
- MAKE SURE NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (you don't want to give too much away and ruin the book for other readers)

My heart was thumping like crazy. There must be something wrong with me. Without being on an actual carnival ride, you couldn't possibly feel dizzy this often without something being terribly wrong.
Unless . . . oh, nonsense! I was probably just growing too fast. Or I had . . .I had a brain tumor? Or maybe, I thought, brushing that nasty notion aside, it was only that I was hungry.

Ruby Red is the first book in an amazing trilogy by Kerstin Gier! First published in Germany, it was (finally) picked up by Henry Holt and published in America. I'm so glad they did because it is such a great book! Really funny, and intriguing! Can't wait until Sapphire Blue and Emerald Green are printed in the US to complete the trilogy!
Thanks for posting such a funny teaser. Haven't we all turned a headache into a brain tumor or a stomach ache into appendicitis ... in our imaginations? I'm ordering this book right now.
ReplyDeleteHere's my teaser: Sandy's Teaser
That girl definitely has an imagination, huh? I haven't read this one but it looks good!
