Good morning (or whatever time it is where you are), everyone!
Welcome to another installment of Taste Testing Tuesdays here at Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers! Taste Testing Tuesdays was inspired by 'Teaser Tuesdays', a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.
On the menu this week...a book that's soon to be finished, but still eager to be shared.
Ready for a taste?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We all put gel in our hair and wore black sunglasses - we were looking real cool. Under our arms we carried our piggy banks, tin cans, pillow cases, hollowed-out stuffed animals or whatever we used to stash our allowance. We still had no idea what Danny was planning, not until we stood right in front of the bank.-- pg 90, The Wild Soccer Bunch: Diego the Tornado (bk 2) by Joachim Masannek
It's not what you think.....but what does occur is simply well planned and over the top. You can't but smile at the efforts of this group of kids, or the antics. You gotta hand it to them, once they put their minds to something, there's no stopping them.....a great message to young readers as well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
*Open to a random page
*Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
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 participants can add the book to their TBR.*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Until next time....happy reading!

Cute teaser! :D What a "cool" bunch of kids haha.
This is originally a German book, made into a popular German movie with (I think) 3 sequels. My son has the second movie on DVD. Interesting stuff, and a neat story. :)
What a wonderful picture the author paints, I can clearly see these children, piggy banks under arms.
O now I want to know more. Great teaser. The best ones always leave you wanting to pick up the book.
