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 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 & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
My Teaser: The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl – By Barry Lyga (ISBN: 978-0-618-91652-8)
Synopsis: (Taken From Amazon)
FFanboy has never had it good, but lately his sophomore year is turning out to be its own special hell. The bullies have made him their favorite target, his best (and only) friend seems headed for the dark side (sports and popularity), and his pregnant mother and the step-fascist are eagerly awaiting the birth of the alien life form known as Fanboy’s new little brother or sister.
Fanboy, though, has a secret: a graphic novel he’s been working on without telling anyone, a graphic novel that he is convinced will lead to publication, fame, and—most important of all—a way out of the crappy little town he lives in and all the people that make it hell for him.
When Fanboy meets Kyra, a.k.a. Goth Girl, he finds an outrageous, cynical girl who shares his love of comics as well as his hatred for jocks and bullies. Fanboy can’t resist someone who actually seems to understand him, and soon he finds himself willing to heed her advice—to ignore or crush anyone who stands in his way.
Teaser:
Now that I’m standing ,it’s easy to slip my hand into my pocket. As usual, I feel the immediate calm when I touch the bullet that I keep there. I started carrying it about a year ago. Everything’s OK; I’ve added Mark to The List. – Pg. 5
Note:
I’ve added more than the usual first two sentences because I thought it was something you just had to read as a whole. Definitely love the way it ends the chapter. What is the list? Why is he carrying around a bullet?
