My book beginnings is taken from THE GIRL IN THE CASTLE by Santa Montefiore:
"The two little boys with grubby faces and scuffed knees reached the rusted iron gate by way of a barely distinguishable track that branched off the main road and cut through the forest in a sleepy curve."
I am still reading this book...it has been a crazy, busy week. I hope I get to continue reading soon.
