Teaser Tuesday, 13th Edition

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 and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

I am doing a slightly different version of Teaser Tuesday. Since I go through books so quickly, I'm going to put a quote from any book I've read in the past week.

"Boy promptly fell against the tripod, which dripped hot stuff on the spilled powder. The cellar filled with big purple bubbles." - Unexpected Magic, by Diana Wynne Jones (almost done with this, finally!)

"Lace shrugged, her fork twirling, the last strands of spaghetti on her plate trailing like a satellite picture of a hurricane. 'It wasn't even that hard.'" - Peeps, by Scott Westerfeld

"'I meant a favor,' Pigeon said.

     'I seldom grant favors, and certainly not in exchange for bribes.'" - The Candy Shop War, by Brandon Mull

"The girls scrambled to their feet, and for a few moments the cottage was a whirl of locating baskets, straightening linen caps, donning extra petticoats, and tucking up the top layer of their skirts as to keep the hems out of the dust.
     They set out as soon as the girls had finished." - Snow White and Rose Red, by Patricia C. Wrede
