[ISLMA-Share] Great First Lines

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I'm looking for great first lines for a bulletin board from books that are
middle school/high school level. Anyone have any favorites to share? Here's
a few examples I have:

*“My mother thinks I’m dead. Obviously I’m **not dead, but it’s safer for
her to think so.” – Legend by Lu*

*"Sophie had waited all her life to be kidnapped." – School of Good and
Evil by Chainani*

*“I had just come to accept that my life would be ordinary when
extraordinary things began to happen.”*–– *Miss Peregrine’s Home for
Peculiar Children*
