 The Beginning:

Even with the door latched on my mailbox at the Nordwall Student Center, I could see it brimming with all sorts of goodies.

 My first impression:

Sounds like an action packed middle grade adventure.  I have enjoyed many wonderful books through Cedar Fort tours that were of similar genre.  I did not realize just how fun they would be, but I have immensely enjoyed them.  I have very high hopes for this one!  I have seen some good reviews for the first book in this series - although I have not personally read it.

Friday 56:

I tilted my head to one side, curling my lower lip, as I rotated my shoulder.  A faint tinge of pain throbbed, beneath the bone.  Regardless of the ointment and the medicine running through my blood, if I didn't get professional help, there was bound to be an infection.
