Quotes by Cory Putman Oakes (?)

“I looked up, and at first I had a hard time finding our teacher. That was because she was sitting on the floor at the front of the room beside a large TV, angrily punching buttons on an old-looking DVD player. She held up one long, bony finger and pointed to an empty seat in the front row.”
― Cory Putman Oakes, Dinosaur Boy

“and me and ran upstairs, a yellow tennis ball clenched securely in her jaws and an unmistakable gleam of triumph in her large brown eyes. I sighed. From the beginning, the only flaw in the tennis ball plan had been Fanny’s rabid love for them. And ever since we had returned home from the lake, she had been growing increasingly bold in her attempts to steal them off my spikes. I heard my mom sigh too. “Sorry,” I said guiltily. Mom looked down at the torn-up carpet and bit her lip.”
― Cory Putman Oakes, Dinosaur Boy
