TEASER TUESDAY - May 3


Teaser Tuesday is hosted by MizB and anyone can play. Just take two sentences from your current read, post them, and share the link here: Teaser Tuesday


Our teaser is from Page 6 of Saving CeeCee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman. Twelve-year-old CeeCee is the narrator.  

She became so unpredictable that I never knew what would be waiting for me when I got home from school--a plate of gooey half-baked cookies or muffled sobs leaking from beneath her closed bedroom door. I didn't know what was wrong with her, but I did know that none of the other mothers in our town acted the way she did.

  1. your teaser definitely different... it's like tugging something in my heart the way CeeCee knew that other mothers are not like her own. very good teaser!

  3. I like the image of sobs "leaking" from beneath her door, don't you?

  4. This reminds me a little of Miles From Ordinary by Carol Lynch Williams, with a girl's mother not quite like others on the street. Great teaser! Thanks for stopping by, have a great week! :)

  10. beautiful teaser, but sounds like this book might be a bit too 'heavy' for me.

    ReplyDelete
  11. This book isn't heavy at all! In fact, it turned out to be a little bit too fairy-godmotherish for me. But I enjoyed it anyhow.

  12. Hi. :)

    I've been seeing this book around for ages. I am adding it to my TBR list.

  13. Thanks for commenting on my TT! You're right, you WILL stay up reading it. I was married to this book until I was done with it!

    I love how visual that paragraph is, the way it talks about her being warm like a cookie or sobbing. Very nice!

  15. Awwwwwwwww, that's sad. Her mother sounds like she suffering from depression. Her daughter sounds like she's suffering too...

    But it's a great teaser -- thanks for sharing it! And thanks for stopping by my TT!!

    P.S. I love the cover of this book -- one of the prettiest I've ever seen. :)

  16. Oh, that's powerful. It's good to think about what children go through just to get to school and back home and back to school the next day. Would luv to read this one.

  17. I've admired this cover since the book came out and that's a great teaser!

    ReplyDelete
  18. That's a really good teaser. I'll have to check out that book now. Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  19. That's an awful way to spend your childhood--not knowing what to expect when you come home (and apparently none of it good).

    thanks for stopping by mine!

  20. I'm with Bev. I'm already rooting for CeeCee.

    Thanks for commenting on my blog.

  22. Wonderful teaser! It's so evocative it brought back my own childhood memories of my own exceptionally beautiful and loving stepmother as unlike any other mothers I knew.

    It is definitely going on my TBR list
