Today's Book Beginnings is from
California Blue, a young adult novel by David Klass, 1994.
"I don't know why running through a redwood forest has always made me think of death."
The boy likes to run, and within a few pages he has run off the trail chasing a butterfly. His father and older brothers were all into "manly" sports like football, basketball, and baseball, so they consider him a bit odd, to put it mildly. I'm enjoying the book, so far, but I'm still trying to find the connection to "always made me think of death."

strange first sentence! I can't quite wrap my head around a redwood forest equating death. Maybe by the end you'll know...
Hmm, having been in a redwood forest before, I have a hard time picturing anyone running without tripping over various logs and forest debris. LOL!
This is an intriguing beginning. It makes me want to know why running in a redwood forest makes him think of death.
Thanks for participating in Book Beginnings!
