Quote of the Day
"She taught me to be more positive, to accept my blindness for what it was; not to embrace it exactly, but to stop feeling so angry about it all the time. She herself had been blind for most of her life, after some illness or other. She'd brought up two children, traveled half the world, and been an English teacher in a school in Manchester. All with no eyes." —THE SLEEPING SWORD by Michael Morpurgo

Quote of the Day
"People come in flavors. That's what I think, anyway. My mother is the flavor of mint—sharp and bright. My father reminds me of hot chocolate—sweet and full of gentle warmth. My name's Amy, and if I had a flavor, it would probably be lilac or pomegranate or something. I don't know. It's hard to judge your own flavor." —SPACEBOY by Stephen McCranie

Quote of the Day
"I live at the Back of Beyond. At least, that's what Pa calls it. Folks who don't know any better call it Whistle. That's because when someone rides through town, it's gone between the pucker and the first note of the whistle." —WHEN THE CIRCUS CAME TO TOWN by Laurence Yep

Quote of the Day
"I take off down the sidewalk in a panic, tripping over people and shoes and strollers. It's like a terrible, ridiculous attack-of-the-bees sci-fi movie is being filmed—except no one else knows about it, and I am, unfortunately, the star." —ZINNIA AND THE BEES by Danielle Davis
