Those are two excellent teasers! I read "Teenage Dwarf" waaaaay back when I was a preteen and loved it. I was a big fan of Dobie Gillis, in print and on TV. Very funny stuff!
Great teasers! I hadn't heard of wither book before, but I'm going to check them out now! Here's my Teaser from Firelight. And I've got a big giveaway, too!
