Quote of the Day – Odd and the Frost Giants

Quote of the Day

There was a boy called Odd, and there was nothing strange or unusual about that, not in that time or place. Odd meant the tip of a blade, and it was a lucky name.

Odd and the Frost Giants by Neil Gaiman

Quote of the Day – The Fish in Room 11

Quote of the Day

Toby would have loved living in a hotel—had he been allowed to slide down the banisters, sleep in a different bed every night, and hang around in the kitchen waiting to lick out the cake bowl. But of course he wasn’t allowed to do any of those things.

Quote of the Day – Keeper

Quote of the Day

Her fingers traced the knobby outlines of her kneecaps. She had studied her knees a million times. Mermaids did not have knees. Keeper did. Her knees were right there.

Keeper by Kathi Appelt
