Teaser Tuesday - Gone, by Michael Grant

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just:
* Grab your current read
* Open to a random page
* Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
* BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
* Share the title and author, too, so that other Teaser Tuesday participants can add the book to their To Be Read (TBR) Lists if they like your teasers!

----------

"Gone" is the first book in a new series of Teen Fiction books written by Michael Grant, centered around the idea that in a single moment everyone over the age of fourteen disappears.  I've just started reading "Gone," so my Tease today is the opening sentences of Chapter One.  I'm already hooked...

The Tease:
"One minute the teacher was talking about the Civil War.  And the next minute he was gone.
There.
Gone.
No "poof."  No flash of light.  No explosion."
 -Gone, by Michael Grant

What's your Tease?

    1. I downloaded the book to my Nook last night right before I went to bed, intending to read it for just a minute or two, but then had a difficult time putting it down! It starts out great, so we'll see how the rest of it goes...
