First Lines of Fantasy Books (Mini #37)

First lines are important to a book. For this week's mini episode of the dorky, geeky, nerdy trivia podcast, I'm going to give you the first line or lines from a fantasy novel, and you'll have to tell me the book's title. Good luck #1. Mr. and Missus Dursley of #4 provet Dr. were proud to say they were perfectly normal. Thank you very much Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone #2. All children except one grow up. Peter Pan #3, Where's Papa going with that axe? Said Fern to her mother as they were setting the table for breakfast. Charlotte's Web #4. There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrub, and he almost deserved it. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader #5. There were four children whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy, the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Number Six. Dorothy lived in the midst of the Great Kansas prairies with Uncle Henry, who was a farmer, and Aunt Em, who was the farmer's wife, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz #7. This book is largely concerned with hobbits. From its pages, a reader may discover much of their character and little of their history. The Fellowship of the Ring #8. The Wheel of Time Turns and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become Legend. The Eye of the World #9 We should start back, Garrett urged as the woods began to grow dark around them. The wildlings are dead. A Game of Thrones #10. If you want to find Cherry Tree Lane, all you have to do is ask the policeman at the crossroads, Mary Poppins, and we're done. Don't you like it? Let me know on social media or Spotify if you like more of these. I can see science fiction and horror versions of First Alliance trivia, maybe other genres as well.

Sometimes it's about forever. Refusing to let things die. For his 15th birthday, David Rose wishes for things to go back to the way they were. He wants the nightmares to end, the bullies to leave, and the claustrophobic memories of his near drowning to disappear, not to mention his surreal encounter with a mythical creature. He stands with his little sister Rachel in front of their mother's grave and pledges to seek the truth about what really happened on that terrible evening a year ago. But this quest for truth threatens to unleash a sinister plot centuries in the making. David must awaken in time to the incredible truth, to his new found powers, and to the realization that to protect his family and survive in a world he's always known, he must come to grips with the dark secrets of a world he never knew existed. Evolved Publishing presents an extraordinary adventure through time, an epic tale of hesitant heroism and the timeless battle between good and evil in the first book in the David Rose series of young adult fantasies, The Awakening of David Rose, written by Daryl Rothman and narrated by Brian Rollins. Available now on Audible, iTunes, Spotify, and more.
