April 21st's Book Beginnings and Friday 56

Time to kick off Friday!  Yes, it's time for this week's Book Beginnings and Friday 56.

This week, I'm spotlighting a middle grade mystery - Panda-monium by Stuart Gibbs

                                                         


Stuart has some of the best opening lines.  This book is no exception, and as soon as I read it, I knew I had to use this book this week.
I almost missed all the mayhem with the giant panda because a dolphin stole my bathing suit.

Isn't that great?

Meanwhile, here's a teaser from page 56:

"What's going on?" Summer asked.
Kevin seemed stat struck by Summer.  "Er...Ah...This woman claims she knows Teddy."

This book really is fabulous, and I will have my review up on Sunday if you want to come back and read more about it.

Meanwhile, I hope you have a great weekend.  I'll be spending Saturday at the LA Times Festival of Books.

  5. The most interesting teaser I've read today! Ha! Is that a photo of your book collection at the top of your blog? That's so cool, if it is.
