This week my teaser lines are the opening lines of a book I've been reading for the Once Upon a Time VI Challenge. Edward Eager's children's fantasy novel Seven-Day Magic was first published in 1962, and it's the story of five young friends who discover a very special book, one day at the public library:"The best kind of book," said Barnaby, "is a magic book."Of course, it could be said that all books are magic books; but Edward Eager's certainly have some of the most delightful magic to be found.
"Naturally," said John.
There was a silence, as they all thought about this and how true it was.
"The best kind of magic book," said Barnaby, leaning back against the edge of the long, low library table and surveying the crowded bookshelves..."is when it's about ordinary people like us, and then something happens and it's magic."

Sounds like this might be a fun read. GONE by Michael Grant is one they would probably like which I took a teaser from this week.
