Garth Nix is one of my favorite Young Adult writers, mainly cause his books are universal. I could recommend them to any of my friends, or the occasional reader, age no bar.
"A boy – a Piper’s child – stepped through the gap and, without a word of warning, lunged at Arthur with a six-foot- long, three-tined gardening fork, each of the tines red-hot, the air around them blurred from the intense heat they radiated."
Today's Teaser is taken from the end of Chapter 3, the page I am on. The book is Lord Sunday, book 7 in the Keys of the Kingdom.
If you haven't read Garth Nix, a great place to start is with The Old Kingdom series; beginning with Abhorsen. Highly unique.

Arthur needs to watch out. That sounds dangerous.

Children with deadly weapons? Sounds interesting. Great teaser!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my teaser from The Inheritance.
I love the Abhorsen trilogy. I keep meaning to get to the Keys to the Kingdom series. Looking at your "you might also like" posts, it looks like we like a lot of the same books. I'll subscribe :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my teaser: Blameless by Gail Carriger
Hmm, sounds like that will end badly for one of them.

ReplyDeleteAwesome, this sounds like something my 11 year old would love.
ReplyDeleteThe teaser sounds intense, brave kid.
ReplyDeleteBook 7? wow I'm not sure I want to read something that long again, considering I was dissapointed with Harry Potter
:)
ReplyDelete@Novroz - Its really not too bad, the first few books are pretty short! And at no point do the pages go to the length that the HP books went to :)
Awesome teaser! That sounds like a very dangerous weapon there. I've seen that book around, but never read any in the series . . .
ReplyDeleteI've read The Abhorsen Trilogy--I loved those books! I loved Lirael. :)
Thanks for commenting on my teaser!
Hah! I remember this since I just finished it recently. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Kah, I should have known we would read it at the same time :) We do read a lot of similar authors!
