Friday Quotes: Children of Blood and Bone

Book Beginnings on Friday is hosted by Rose City Reader. Share the opening quote from the book.
The Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice.  Find a quote from page 56.

Check out the links for the rules and for the posts of the participants each week. Participants don't select their favorite, coolest, or most intellectual books, they just use the one they are currently reading. This is the book I'm reading right now---
Title: Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi

 Book Beginning:
"Zelie: Pick me. It's all I can do not to scream."
Friday 56:
"I push through the crowd with a new fervor, desperate to escape. I'm almost past the textiles when someone grabs my wrist."
Comment: I just finished this fabulous YA fantasy novel this morning. It is set in Nigeria and includes Nigerian mythology about gods and magic. It is very exciting and unique. The Friday 56 quote happens to be a turning point in the story.
