But one night, boredom drives her to the local bar, where she finds herself sitting beside a handsome and mysterious artist. What fictional adventure would you like to experience yourself? There are plenty to choose from! Let me know in the comments.As Calamity's newest resident, Everly Christian thought life in small-town Montana would be dull and tame-and she needs a little mundane after the last few chaotic years. Especially when they get to go on adventures I’m sure a lot of kids wish they could go on. Spineless sounds like a really interesting book and I love reading about characters that are really passionate about something. Add a curse and some secrets and I have a feeling we’re going to have a fun adventure! Our main character wants to be a naturalist and exploring these unexplored swamps may start his career early.

The first part of the book doesn’t give much away or leave many things to really expect from the book. I love the cover of Spineless and even before reading the synopsis it makes me feel like we’ll be going on an adventure.

” You didn’t like Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Dea?” he asked, retrieving the book and smoothing its pages.” Like many twelve-year-olds, Algie Emsworth was used to his older brother’s dramatics. ” The book skidded across the deck and scattered Algie’s shuffleboard game. But when the pool starts filling with ink and guests start getting mysterious, sucker-shaped wounds, Algie must pluck up his courage to find the truth about the goings-on at the Grand Hotel-and save the new species from destruction. An apparent curse has also descended upon the hotel, bringing with it a deadly red tide. Algie quickly realizes he must keep his discovery a secret: a famous collector of exotic animals is also staying at the hotel, and the new species is threatened by his very presence. But even Algie is startled when he happens upon a brand-new species and her brood in the karst springs surrounding the resort. The scientific treasure trove of unexplored swamps may launch his dream career as a naturalist. When his asthma lands him at a health resort in the wilds of Gilded Age South Florida, twelve-year-old Algie Emsworth is over the moon. This exciting middle-grade adventure is Hoot for the Gilded Age-with scientific discoveries, secret plots, and surprisingly enormous fauna. After that you talk about your initial thoughts about the sentence, book or anything to do with that. The idea is to post the first sentence or so of the book you’re currently reading. This meme was created by Rose City Reader. I’m really excited about this newly released middle grade book. Today I want to share the opening lines of Spineless by Samantha San Miguel. So we decided to do some more Bookish Beginnings On Friday. We have a lot of eARC’s and we want to promote them a little bit more.
