It may not be possible to judge a book by its cover, but I've long maintained that you can judge a book by it's first sentence.
The first sentence of Something in Disguise goes like this:
When Oliver saw his sister in her bridesmaid's dress he laughed so much he could hardly stand.
And, yes, the whole book is terrific.
Word To Use Today: disguise. This word comes from the Old French desguisier. Guise means manner, and is connected with the word wise.
