I can't think on any one line that grabbed me but I agree that the first line is crucial.

It is always so for my students. If you don't grab them immediately, they don't like it and won't read it. I, on the other hand, will give it at least 50 pages.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278460511151322545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-78503005817622798472012-01-23T16:18:36.531-05:002012-01-23T16:18:36.531-05:00Oh, those are awesome, Stephanie!

Cover first, blurb second and first page...that's what the reader looks at. Lose them on any one and the book goes back on the shelf.<br />One of my newest favorites comes from Joanne Kennedy...a chicken will never break your heart.Carolyn Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14704111268464382004noreply@blogger.com
