"They say Maniac Magee was born in a dump.  They say his stomach was a cereal box and his heart was a sofa spring.  
   They say he kept an eight-inch cockroach on a leash and that rats stood guard over him while he slept.  
    They say if you knew he was coming and you sprinkled salt on the ground and he ran over it, within two or three blocks he would be as slow as everybody else.
   They say."

This is one of my favorite leads of all time.  It makes me want to read more!

" There's  a Polar Bear
In our Frigidaire ---
He likes it ' cause it's cold in there
With his seat in the meat
And his face in the fish 
And his big hairy paws
In the buttery dish,
He's nibbling the noodles,
He's munching the rice,
He's slurping the soda, 
He's licking the ice.
And he lets out a roar
If you open the door.
And it gives me a scare
To know he's in there---
That Polary bear 
In our Fridgitydarie."I copied word for word so if a word is spelled wrong that's how the author wrote it. ]]> 2020-03-17 15:56:30 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_brubaker1/v5a9t277ksuf/wish/463352438 Josie Laddusaw Words on Fire By: Jennifer A.

If the soldiers we passed on the roads heard us speaking it, we could be whipped on the spot or arrested. Or in some cases, we might disappear. That happened sometimes. So I avoided saying my name in public, but I often wondered: If my language was forbidden, then my name was forbidden. Which meant I had no name."]]> 2020-03-17 16:08:48 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_brubaker1/v5a9t277ksuf/wish/463370472 Sophia Davis https://padlet.com/emily_brubaker1/v5a9t277ksuf/wish/463682334
