Teaser Tuesday - What MG novel is this from?
This is the first line and first paragraph from what MG novel ?? [ check back here tomorrow for the answer =) ]
I am eleven years old and I am invisible.
I am sitting at my desk, in my classroom, on a perfect autumn afternoon - Friday, October 19, 1962. My desk is in the farthest row, next to the windows. I squint into the sunshine and watch a brilliant gold leaf fall from a spindly old tree by the sidewalk and then I open Makers of America to page forty-seven because it's social studies time. I love social studies, love everything about it, and most of all I love to read aloud.
