So last I left you, we had ten quotes from books I love.
You have correctly identified six of them:
2. “Once there were four children whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy.†The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
4. “Dear Sidney, Susan Scott is a wonder.†The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
5. “When he was nearly thirteen, my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow.†To Kill a Mockingbird
6. “Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.†Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
8. “Mrs. Rachel Lynde lived just where the Avonlea main road dipped down into a little hollow…†Anne of Green Gables
10. “On the fifteenth of May, in the Jungle of Nool, in the heat of the day, in the cool of the pool, he was splashing … enjoying the jungle’s great joys … when Horton the elephant heard a small noise.†Horton Hears a Who
Well done, Jenn, raidergirl3, RandomRanter, and Allegra!
This leaves us with four quotes, at least three of which I bet many of you have read. These are the four I expected there would be the most challenging, so let’s see if anyone can get them if I offer a clue:
1. “My father had a face that could stop a clock.â€
You’ll think about this quote the Next time you get sucked into a good book.
3. “The year began with lunch.â€

7. “I have been afraid of putting air in a tire ever since I saw a tractor tire blow up and throw Newt Hardbine’s father over the top of the Standard Oil sign.â€
When driving across the country to Tucson, you want to be very careful about picking up reptiles at rest stops. It just might change your life.
9. “It was a dark and stormy night.â€
