Teaser Tuesday: Also Known As (AKA) by Robin Benway

Teaser Tuesday 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!



Title: Also Known As (AKA)
Author: Robin Benway
Published: February 26, 2013
Publisher: Walker Childrens


Being a 16-year-old safecracker and active-duty daughter of international spies has its moments, good and bad. Pros: Seeing the world one crime-solving adventure at a time. Having parents with super cool jobs. Cons: Never staying in one place long enough to have friends or a boyfriend. But for Maggie Silver, the biggest perk of all has been avoiding high school and the accompanying cliques, bad lunches, and frustratingly simple locker combinations. Then Maggie and her parents are sent to New York for her first solo assignment, and all of that changes. She'll need to attend a private school, avoid the temptation to hack the school's security system, and befriend one aggravatingly cute Jesse Oliver to gain the essential information she needs to crack the case . . . all while trying not to blow her cover.

My Teaser:

"Okay, Maggie," I said to myself after my shower, wiping the steam off the medicine cabinet. "You could eat these kids for breakfast. You won't, though, because that would be channibalistic and wrong." Even talking to myself, I was easily distracted. Not a good sign.

  2. I loved this one. I was laughing too hard to read during her ice skating date. Check out my teasers for Mila 2.0 by Debra Driza and Rage Against the Dying by Becky Masterman. Happy reading!
