It's Friday so it must be time for First Lines Friday.
First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines? If you want to make your own post, feel free to use or edit the banner above, and follow the rules below:
- Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
- Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
- Finally… reveal the book!
So here is today's snippet ...
I read the sign again, glowing in front of me:
Type of organism: human female
Origin: Earth
Age: about twelve years
This brand new exhibit will be introduced to the wider Earth Zone exhibition when emotional stability has been achieved.
There you go! Any ideas?
Today's opening is from The Kid Who Came From Space by Ross Welford.
I hope this has inspired you to go and read the book.
Happy reading
Allison xx
