Book Beginnings:
Being the youngest of three boys definitely has its advantages. I've watched my brothers get into some serious trouble when they were in high school.Friday 56:
Back at home, I find Officer Reyes standing on our front stoop, wearing jeans and a T-shirt. He's got a Budweiser in his hand, and he's talking to mi'amá. I wouldn't think anything of it, but the guy has a big grin on his face, and he just touched her elbow as she laughed at something he said. Oh, man.Chain Reaction by Simone Elkeles

Uh-oh...that p. 56 sounds intriguing.
Thanks for sharing both excerpts....

Sounds like a beautiful moment to catch.
Thanks for participating!
Great excerts, this sounds like an interesting book. From the 56 it sounds like the cop is going to be around a lot more than the boy is comfortable with.
This sounds great!
Thanks for participating in Book Beginnings!
