Teaser Tuesday (5)

Teaser Tuesdays 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!

 My book this week is the middle grade novel The Atomic Weight of Secrets  or The Arrival of the Mysterious Men in Black by Eden Unger Bowditch.

"Jasper was always prepared to run at a moment's notice.  he was good at running and found many opportunities to practice.  When he tried to explain the physics of a morble in motion, all the while making an excellent shot, he had been pelted with marbles by the boys in his class.  The boys hadn't a clue what he was talking about and hated him for it."  p. 21.
