These are excerpts from each book:

Book #1 - "He was a stout boy with braces so heavily rubber-banded that his mouth looked like a cat's cradle."

Book #2 - "A wild-haired, bow-legged girl with an untied shoe, wire-rimmed spectacles- and no red bucket."

Book #3 - "Her face turned blood-red, and with her nose wrinkling and her pudgy cheeks bunching up, she narrowed her bright blue eyes to slits."
