Review for Arlo Finch in the Valley of Fire
Teaser Thursday ~ Arlo Finch in the Valley of Fire

I let Random.org select a page, and it selected page 105 (though since the last sentence continues in 106, a bit of that page is here as well).
As Arlo got closer, he realized the “cliff” was actually just a massive wedge of rock embedded in the hillside. At most it was ten feet above the ground. It looked much higher because the mountain sloped away from it, revealing the whole valley. Climbing up beside his sister, Arlo could see the town of Pine Mountain below: the flat roof of the school, the church steeples, the gas station sign. Everything looked tiny, like the buildings of a model train.

Okay, it’s almost as bad, but there is one tiny silver lining that you may not pick up on right away – I’m wearing my very best socks. On any other day that a red cap decided to steal my boots, I’d be chasing after him in dirty socks with holes in the toes.
But on this day, I had my clean socks on.

Review for Amelia Fang and the Half-Moon Holiday
Friday’s Page 69 ~ Amelia Fang and the Half-Moon Holiday by Laura Ellen Anderson

Her mind made up, Amelia reached purposefully for a plum. It was velvety and light and its gentle glow illuminated her pale skin. Amelia took a small bite and felt her mouth begin to water. The flavour was full and sweet and almost magical… like nothing she’d ever tasted before. She took another bite, and another.
