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

Teaser #1 from 6% into the book. .

Five whole minutes! Outside. By herself.

It sent a thrill through her blood like she’d never experienced. It made her smile and stretch her arms out.

Teaser #2 from 8% into the book..

“You have been chosen, Jacey,” Mother Tyeesha had said. “All of the Scions have been chosen for a great destiny. You must study hard and prepare yourself for it.”

I’ve already read this book and I’m getting ready to review it.

To refresh my memory, I’m reading it again.

I’ve actually got more out of this time and am having just as much fun.

Book Description:

Few people even know that the Scion School exists. Tucked away on a private Caribbean island, the school is host to thirty-six exceptionally gifted students, all orphans. They train and study every day to prepare themselves for an immense responsibility, to lead humankind back from the brink of extinction.

At least, that’s what they’ve been told.

Among the thirty-six is Jacey, 17, one of four Scions in the Eagle class. She is the favorite of the 93-year-old headmaster, Dr. Carlhagen. But when Jacey overhears a conversation between a strange visitor and one of the school’s first graduates, she learns a stunning fact about her future. One that Dr. Carlhagen has kept from all the Scions.
