Book Tag

My friend, Shannon, tagged me to participate in this book tag. I thought it sounded like fun.

The Rules:
1. Pick up the nearest book (with at least 123 pages)
2. Turn to page 123
3. Find the 5th sentence
4. Post the next three sentences
5. Tag 5 people

This is what I came up with....

"But though he sometimes missed questions whose answers he knew, he still won the contests easily, gaining admission to bigger contests with bigger prizes, until at last his parents were perfectly dazzled by the prospect of fortune, and Sticky was perfectly exhausted. Despite complaining and even begging, however, he couldn't persuade them to let him stop. If he wanted to be rich and famous, they said, he must keep winning."

-The Mysterious Benedict Society, written by Trenton Lee Stewart

This is a Juvenile Fiction book that my friend, Sundi, referred to me. I haven't started reading it, yet. I picked it up from my local library yesterday, and I have it on Interlibrary Loan.

I tag Kristin, Jaime, Ragan, Tamara (Mark), and Levi. Wow, I just realized I have a short list of friends in the Blogosphere. I hope to change that very quickly.
