Teaser Tuesday: Perchance to Dream + The Great Cupcakeathon

My teaser:
The cold crept up her bare legs in icy ribbons, and the hem of her ruined evening gown crackled with frost.  About the time she would have started screaming for help, a pinpoint of light appeared in the distance.
- page 50 of Perchance to Dream by Lisa Mantchev


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 '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 and author, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teaser!
In celebration of  Perchance to Dream's book birthday, the kids and I baked and decorated some cupcakes for Lisa Mantchev's "Great Cupcakeathon" today!  Fun!  Hopefully the fairies like sugary Lemon Blueberry cupcakes with butterflies [in Ariel's honor].   :-)
I've shared this lovely book trailer before, but I am going to share it again since I adore it.  :-)

I STILL haven't gotten around to reading this series yet, but I have a library copy of Eyes Like Stars sitting on my shelf. This teaser was great! I can't wait to actually start reading these books! :)
