Teaser Tuesday: The Dragon Book

This week's teaser comes from The Dragon Book, a collection of short stories featuring one of my favorite mythical beings. There are some great authors represented, including Garth Nix, Gregory Maguire, Jonathan Stroud and Peter S. Beagle. I chose a teaser from the story by Tamora Pierce:

"Kit, I can hear you scratching rock down at our tent." Daine walked up the slope to us, tying her curly brown hair in a horse tail. "It's a dreadful noise. I thought you were chewing stones."

That's right! Daine and Numair are back for the story! Who else is super excited?

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Miz B of Should Be Reading. Anyone can join in the fun! What's your teaser?
