I like hooks that show action or tense dialogue. I can’t remember any examples, but that’s the sort that always draws my attention.
Recently I started not even worrying about the “hook” and just letting it come to me as I was writing the scene.

Haha! No not that little! Hi Gabrielle, nice to meet you! Overarching plot hmmmm…. I must ponder that:P the kids are 2-7. In fact I think a brief overview of them is in order.

Hi Christi! I’m Kenya. Nice to meet you!

It would be a book for teens and preteens. I was to make it really interesting, it would include a lot of interaction between the families and such.

So I had this idea that’s sorta of an off shoot of another idea i had; does anybody think it’s a feasible idea for me to develop? A story of 5 young (ages 2-7) children rescued from a government laboratory and are adopted/fostered by a couple different families.

So i couldn’t find a topic on this; so i decided to start one;)

Ash: *shakes head and drops down to the ground* *trusting her skill from handling Dragons, she runs toward the creature, roaring in a loud voice* *Her cape billows out behind her, giving the appearance of her being much bigger.*

Ash: *groans* Cephas, go see what’s the matter.
