Teaser Tuesday: Cinderskella by Amie and Bethany Borst

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• 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 & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

This week's teasers come from Cinderskella, the debut middle grade novel of my friend and fellow JFP author, Amie Borst. A cool fact: it was co-written by her teenage daughter, Bethany.

Not the vines! Last time I'd seen them they tried to pull me into the ground. I let out a scream. "I do believe in spooks--I mean magic. I do believe in magic. I do, I do, I do." 

"You all right, sugah?" Ms. Wanda extended her hand, reaching for me. Except it was all bone. There was no skin. Her hand was a boney, white skeleton. A bony, white skeleton hand holding a bouquet of roses. 

"AAAHH!" I shrieked, closing my eyes tight.
