The Titan's Curse 2007-05-11T00:00:00Z “I wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for you, Grover. Neither would Luke. We don’t care what the council says.” The Lightning Thief 2005-07-01T00:00:00Z She brought up a store of food to Luke’s room so he wouldn’t get hungry while they were all away. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Luke wanted to kiss her again, but whatever bravery he’d mustered had been left behind in the shadows of his mom’s room.

The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z I remember this as the scar Luke got from working the Shear; however, it might have come from a roofing accident. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z “I didn’t dare go close, but I don’t think Luke is up there. I think I would know if he was.” The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z When the second knock came before he could even take a step, Luke knew it was Toby. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z The old silver there was of some value, she told the lawyer, but it represented an almost insuperable difficulty for Luke: it required energy to steal it and transform it into money.

Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z And then, out of the corner of his eye, Luke caught a glimpse of something behind one window of the Sports Family’s house. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Bo had Luke by the shirt almost immediately, his hand raised. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke looked around the room, as if he didn’t know where to put Petey. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z The wrestling room was empty, save Coach O and Seth, a former college wrestler who came in every week to help Luke work out.

We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “We will raise Mount Othrys right here,” Luke promised, in a voice so strained it was hardly his.

The Lightning Thief 2005-07-01T00:00:00Z “Really? Well, I think it’s time you got over it. Seriously, Luke, you should talk to him.” Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet 2007-04-30T00:00:00Z “Luke, I know what happened. I’ve talked to Fang about it.” Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet 2007-04-30T00:00:00Z The moment when Luke would tell him it was either Lily or him.

The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z Every time I visited Luke at The Children’s Home, I was haunted by the thought of where I would be without my new family. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Even from deep inside the kitchen, Luke could tell the trees were missing because everything was brighter, more open. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z “Luke ran away when he was really young,” I said. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z It was afternoon, and she sat in the sunlight on the steps of the summerhouse beside Luke; these are the silent pathways of the heart, she thought. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z Luke had stepped back across the cold spot and was examining the hall carpet, then the walls, patting at the surfaces as though hoping to discover some cause for the odd cold.

Please, Thalia, if you don't agree . ..” His voice faltered. The Titan's Curse 2007-05-11T00:00:00Z “Well,” Luke said after a little silence, “I’m sure we will all be very comfortable here.” The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z Then he heard his mother call out the kitchen window: “Luke! Inside. Now.” Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z The man gave Luke the faintest of smiles, one that contained no happiness. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Dad was shaking his head in disgust over Luke's question. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Before, him not showing up would elicit a National Guard-sized response in Luke. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke slept, on his bedside table a flashlight and the lucky piece he always carried with him. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z Why couldn’t Luke just pretend, even for a few minutes, that they were normal? We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z He was trying to create a base, pushing back against Luke with an unexpected determination. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z But when Ricky grabbed Luke’s bad hand, trying to force his arm behind his back, instinct kicked in.

Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z If he hadn’t witnessed it himself, Luke never would have guessed that Jen’s dad had been crying only moments before. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z At some point, Luke had to trust him. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke glanced at his men, and he saw I’d trapped him. The Sea of Monsters 2006-04-01T00:00:00Z As much as I hated Luke, as much as he had betrayed me, I just didn’t get why he was in the coffin, and why he looked so very, very dead.

Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Before he got two steps, Luke had him against the hood of the El Camino. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke had that effect on girls—even donkey-legged vampires—and Percy wasn’t sure bringing up his name was such a good idea. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “A man ought to have a real belt,” Dad said at breakfast on the day Luke was well enough to return to the junkyard, handing him a leather strap with a steel buckle. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z Each day the pieces of the cross grew smoother and better shaped, for Brother Luke would examine them and show how they were too wide here or too uneven there. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z Luke followed, with Annabeth crying, beating at his chest, and screaming that they couldn’t leave Thalia alone. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “He said that it refers to a report that is critical of how they treated Luke.

Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z She couldn’t have been more than seven, but she would’ve brained Luke if he hadn’t been so fast. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Jen's dad raised his voice, so Luke could hear him clearly. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z It didn’t take long—twenty minutes, maybe thirty—before Luke seemed in his right mind, calm and able to prop himself up. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z Luke felt like he’d been hit in the stomach again, doubled over and out of breath. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “No stinting, I see,” Luke said, taking up a fork with a gesture which would have confirmed his aunt’s worst suspicions. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z My infant brother, Luke, was in a car seat, which nobody had bothered to belt in, so it squished me into the door when his father took a sharp turn. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z “Mrs. Dudley,” the doctor began sternly, and then, noticing Luke’s face tight with silent laughter, lifted his napkin to cover his eyes, and gave in.

Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Luke struggled on through the closet, reaching a stack of blankets at the back. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z He had waited until Dad and Luke were out of the house, away on a job, so his physicality could go unchallenged.

Because of Mr. Terupt 2010-10-11T00:00:00Z Luke kept bobbing his head and shouted “Nope!” to every question he was asked. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z It seemed logical to me that Luke and I would be safest with someone who actually loved us. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z It was never good, but something about the memory made Luke wish he could rewind time. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “This is why I don’t use mortals,” Luke said. The Titan's Curse 2007-05-11T00:00:00Z Luke: Yeah, well, I was thinking about, maybe, going.

We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z And it had seemed to Luke that she’d pulled even bigger books off the bookshelves after that. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Now Luke wondered if that was ever really the case. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z How could Jen’s father have flung open the door of the very place Luke was hiding? Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Last week Luke had pinned him in a matter of seconds. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Toby readied himself, but Luke looked just as tired as he did. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z I was feeling pretty good about myself, until Luke turned and gave me a murderous look. The Sea of Monsters 2006-04-01T00:00:00Z And then Dad did turn around and glance at Luke, once. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z That made no sense to Luke, but he let Jen’s dad go on talking. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z She shook my hand and then inspected Luke’s speckled arms. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Robin pushed, and felt himself moving along with Brother Luke walking and supporting him.

Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z “Luke will bring your car around,” the doctor said gently. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z He knew Luke wasn’t ready to laugh about this, but Toby needed a distraction. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z There was an awkward moment when Luke had to rewire the connection between his brain and his mouth. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z The Hudsons had said they loved Luke, but that didn’t stop them from sending him hack. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z She saw Luke standing in the shadows, which admittedly would have terrified anybody, and nearly choked on the wine. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “And take them to the park or something,” she told Luke. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z When they were gone, Luke made a point of only staring at the sink as he washed the plates. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “My mom’s gone. To work.

A Heart in a Body in the World 2018-09-18T00:00:00Z At lunch, Dad forgot to turn the radio on, and Luke had to remind him. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Brother Luke brought small slender pieces of pine and showed Robin how to smooth them into mast and bowsprit, then found scraps of linen for sails and pieces of yarn for rigging. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z Luke’s mom walked onto the landing, and the smell of perfume was immediate. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke was pretty sure Toby had physics this period, so he peeked into the classroom as the room began to fill up. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z She studied Luke and Thalia with large intelligent gray eyes. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z On the downside, I knew how good Luke was at sword-fighting.

Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z “No you wouldn’t,” Luke muttered, but he said it so softly, he was sure Mother couldn’t hear. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z “This is Luke,” Annabeth said, and her voice sounded different somehow. The Lightning Thief 2005-07-01T00:00:00Z It rained the first two weeks of April, and Luke was in a tizzy wondering when he would ever get to see Jen again. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z “So, what was it like, then, Luke?” she asked, countering my red-hot rant with a cool white calm. Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet 2007-04-30T00:00:00Z Luke tugged the great front door open and wheeled the big vase to hold it; “Fresh air,” he said thankfully. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z When a car passed, Luke dropped behind Annie and instinctively grabbed her shoulders to steer her away from traffic, the way he did with his brothers. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z How many times had Luke beaten somebody stronger and faster only because he understood these things? We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Demigods—even Luke’s own men—were blown off the edge of the bridge.

Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Luke could barely speak for the panic welling inside him. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Too late, Luke thought to wonder if the man knew about the rally. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Luke turned and started back to the living room. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke focused on them, trying to steel himself for what he knew Coach was going to say next. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z He held Q-tips in his mouth as he worked small pieces of glass out of Luke’s forehead. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Mother often begged Matthew and Mark, “Can’t you wait, and talk to Luke a little bit longer?” Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z There’s the quiet snap of cards as Luke deals. A Heart in a Body in the World 2018-09-18T00:00:00Z Besides, last I heard, Luke no longer has a telephone. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z Sleeping had never been something Luke enjoyed so much, their arms and legs intertwined.

I was talking to them from the window.” The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z He was not the regular pastor; I recognized him as Wing, a boy who used to steal baseball cards with my brother Luke. The Joy Luck Club 1989-01-01T00:00:00Z After a while Luke said, “You miss being on a quest?” The Lightning Thief 2005-07-01T00:00:00Z “If Luke gets hold of him—” “Luke wouldn’t hesitate,” Thalia muttered. The Titan's Curse 2007-05-11T00:00:00Z The scar Luke had given me last summer was fading, but I could still see it—a white asterisk-shaped wound where his pit scorpion had stung me. The Sea of Monsters 2006-04-01T00:00:00Z Hailey and Luke walk in our direction but brush right past us, her shoulder a couple of inches away from mine.

We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z When he was out of earshot, Annie turned to Toby and Luke and gave them a clipped smile.

And the time you met Hermes.” The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Luke could tell she was trying to make it jokey, the way she might talk to some other mother’s runaway son.

Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z I believed hospital drugs were an abomination to God, but if I’d had morphine that night, I’d have given it to Luke. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z “Anyway, I won’t take it off and we’ll both watch to see whether Luke and the doctor look at your feet first.” The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z At first Luke was nervous he’d misread something—that she really didn’t want to see him wrestle. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z When he looked back, Luke knew he hadn’t. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke’s body slumped, and even though Toby knew he’d won, he still stormed out of the restaurant, already in the car with the engine running when Luke and the twins came outside. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “Stop bothering Toby,” Luke said, pretending to be mad as he went to the kitchen. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “That’s enough, Luke. I must say, this isn’t a word I was expecting, but nonetheless, it’s our first dollar word. Congratulations.” Because of Mr. Terupt 2010-10-11T00:00:00Z “You know, Luke, when I touched your arm that day, something very...very strange happened. And it happened again, during your last visit to my office. After Stan died.” Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet 2007-04-30T00:00:00Z But after talking it over, the two decided to leave the Luke cards in the deck. The 57 Bus 2017-10-17T00:00:00Z Luke hesitated at first, and she added, “He’ll show up eventually. I promise you.” We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z But there would be no point in asking about Luke. The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z Luke came across the room and held out a hand to each of them to help them up, and Eleanor, moving awkwardly, almost fell; Theodora rose in a quick motion and stretched and yawned. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z I would go off with Luke, and neglect them. The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z Luke couldn’t pull up from the nosedive he was on, so she forced him to look away from the bedroom, only into her eyes, until he finally got the message.

Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z By then Luke was sitting up, and a week later, when the first cold spell hit, he could stand for a minute or two on crutches. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z Luke did come in the night, but she had slept so soundly that she didn’t hear him. Lyddie 1991-02-01T00:00:00Z Luke wasn’t sure what to do, how to hold his body when he walked off the mat. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z When Luke tried to help, Annie pushed him into the living room and told him to find a movie. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z The fire in the little parlor was bright, and Theodora sat down beside the coffee tray while Luke brought brandy from the cupboard where he had carefully set it away the night before. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z “So tell me, Luke, what was that like?” Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet 2007-04-30T00:00:00Z Him and Luke together as the day was long. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z I was disappointed, but Luke was still in it. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z “Like we so dumb we need some stranger to make us think about freedom,” muttered Luke. Kindred 1979-06-01T00:00:00Z “I’m going to miss you,” she says to Luke. A Heart in a Body in the World 2018-09-18T00:00:00Z “Lord Antaeus,” Luke said, loud enough for the crowd to hear. The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z “My father’s parents worked in the cane fields there before they went to California. Luke could be a relative of mine.” Kindred 1979-06-01T00:00:00Z “That’s what I was trying to tell you last night. The cave entrance has been there a long time. Luke used to use it.” The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z Luke sat next to me, pushed his back against the wall. The Lightning Thief 2005-07-01T00:00:00Z Mother long ago had shoved all the trunks and boxes as far as they could go under the eaves, leaving prime space for Luke’s brass bed and circular rag rug and books and toys. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z See, Blackjack had been a captive on board Luke’s ship last summer, until we’d caused a little distraction that allowed him to escape. The Titan's Curse 2007-05-11T00:00:00Z Luke must have given Jen a particularly blank look, because she explained it. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z “There should be padding and leather on the crosspieces,” said Brother Luke. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z With unusual stubbornness, Luke insisted, “I want to know why I'm different. I want to know why I have to hide.” Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z “Welcome, all of you, welcome to Hill House—although perhaps that sentiment ought to come more properly from you, my boy? In any case, welcome, welcome. Luke, my boy, can you make a martini?” The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z It was Luke’s voice, louder; they were coming out of the library and back to the hall where Eleanor waited. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z “Look, the point is, I have to go in. I’ll find the workshop and stop Luke. And ... I need help.” The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z Luke and Thalia were fighting like demons, lightning crackling around them. The Titan's Curse 2007-05-11T00:00:00Z Out through the door in the wall of the courtyard they went, into the street, Robin leaning against Brother Luke, and the jennet picking her way sedately over the cobbles. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z Something that kid would remember every single time he saw Luke. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “Maybe if you hadn’t abandoned Luke and his mom!” The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z It took Luke a minute to realize she was talking about the signal again. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z At first, Luke didn’t think anything of it, but Annie wouldn’t meet his eyes. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “That is a story I do not like to tell. But May Castellan saw too much. If you are to understand your enemy Luke, you must understand his family.” The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Brother Luke didn’t allow him to stay long in the water, but promised to bring him every day. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z “Mrs. Montague, really...” said Luke, but Mrs. Montague brushed past him and sat herself down, her lips tight and her eyes blazing. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z “I'm not sure. But we have to save the camp. If we don’t stop Luke .,.” She didn’t need to finish. The Sea of Monsters 2006-04-01T00:00:00Z It was all very well for Brother Luke to bring him fishing, but it only seemed to make it harder that he couldn’t run about or swim like the other boys. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z “There is certainly not much danger of burglars from the village,” Luke said. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z Luke passed her the marmalade, Theodora smiled at her over Arthur’s head, the doctor bade her good morning. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z The last thing I wanted to hear about was more of her history with Luke. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z “Did you ...” Luke coughed and his lips glistened red. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z “Luke, come and hold this open so I can find the dining room.” The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z She could be dead, on the floor, Luke said. The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z Luke might have stood by the door forever, in awe, but someone coughed in another room. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Brother Luke set Robin on the jennet, the robe and blankets around him making him comfortable. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z Toby reached out and flicked Luke’s arm, trying to distract him. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z I went around the house piling up Luke’s toys and bottles, but they kept ending up back in their original places. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z A few days later they dressed Luke and me in our best clothes and Mr. Hines took us to the Department of Children and Families building. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Luke hacked downward and I rolled behind a deck chair. The Sea of Monsters 2006-04-01T00:00:00Z Her mouth opened, but none of them said anything until Luke stood up. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke could feel the ice in her words. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Matthew held the letter at arm's length, the way Luke had seen him hold dead baby pigs when they had to be carried out of the barn. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Luke turned back to his mother, because it was too hard to look at Dad while he was saying that. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z When Luke spoke, Toby nearly jumped with surprise. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Ill-clad children ran about, and a small girl child clung to Brother Luke and begged to be carried. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z “Neither is Luke, you know. I mean . . . he isn’t dead.” The Titan's Curse 2007-05-11T00:00:00Z Dad carried Luke inside and Mother fetched her scalpel. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z “Luke,” she said, gritting her teeth, “I understand now. You have to trust me.” The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Perhaps I found Luke in a tub, alone, rather than on the grass. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z Luke buried his face in his hands, trying to hide from his own thoughts. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Mrs. Pace always seemed to be yelling at someone and often it was Luke. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Her palms are a little sweaty, and her heart is beating a bit fast, but it’s just her and Luke here, and everything’s okay. A Heart in a Body in the World 2018-09-18T00:00:00Z All I know is that at the end of April, Luke and I were back at the airport. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Luke put out a tentative finger and touched the marble cupid gingerly. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z He was right next to Luke when he said, “It’s not. I just like to be the first one on the mat before a match.” We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke whistled to one of his men, who threw him a round leather-and-bronze shield. The Sea of Monsters 2006-04-01T00:00:00Z Luke was the loudest voice in the room. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z I shuddered, thinking about Rachel’s picture from my dream—a smiling nine-year-old Luke. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Luke made a plate of spaghetti and handed it to Toby. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “So it’s said,” Luke replied, but not, I thought, with much conviction. Crispin: The Cross of Lead 2002-06-01T00:00:00Z “But I didn’t see you leave—” Luke protested. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z It didn’t escape Luke that he wouldn’t look him in the eye. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z She gazed at Luke, her eyes full of pain, as if the only thing she wanted in the world was to believe him. The Titan's Curse 2007-05-11T00:00:00Z Luke had been a wreck all morning, expecting the nurse or the principal—who would it be?—to pull him out of class. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “Of course you did,” Luke muttered under his breath. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke stood up and ran out of the locker room like something was chasing him. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Desperately, Luke yanked a blanket over his head. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Luke didn’t even realize she was talking to him until she said his name and snapped a few times in his face. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z They had already buried Luke in a shallow grave of sand so that only his head stuck out. The Joy Luck Club 1989-01-01T00:00:00Z Around them, the world went quiet, matching the emptiness inside Luke. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z When Luke lunged again, I jumped backward into the swimming pool and felt a surge of strength. The Sea of Monsters 2006-04-01T00:00:00Z Five of the children, including Luke and a set of fraternal twins, were three years old. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Nothing sounded better to Luke than that right now. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z These bodies were the anchors of my life: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Bing. The Joy Luck Club 1989-01-01T00:00:00Z Toby was making Luke pay for betraying his confidence. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Diego had been killing Luke’s chickens for more than a year. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z Barely had anything more than a Mountain Dew because—as Luke put it—he was stupid enough sober. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke hadn’t meant to seem as if he’d been watching them. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z He didn’t want to get into this again, to be forced to appease Luke while still validating the fact that he went to the Deuce. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke, who had just arrived at The Children’s Home, ran full speed toward me and flung his arms around my waist. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Doreen was still working at the Waffle House and couldn’t find a person to pick up her shift, so Luke brought the boys, nothing but toddlers back then. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z It went three periods, and Luke won by a single point. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “You guys know how to live,” Luke says. A Heart in a Body in the World 2018-09-18T00:00:00Z Even if he had, Luke was somewhere else. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke was pivotal in helping me maintain my precision and hand speed whenever Akhi fell off the map. Proud 2018-07-24T00:00:00Z “The nursery, I think,” Dr. Montague said when Luke looked at him inquiringly. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z Luke didn’t miss how he tried to keep his face from going slack too. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Toby was in a booth at the back of the bar with Lily, Jimmy, and a tall guy Luke had never seen before. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z The rest of the team slowly started moving, but Luke’s brain was cooked. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z As he expected, Herrera posted with his leg and Luke spun around—two more points—and used his arm to drive Connor down. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke had no idea why Toby was sitting in the plane with Lily. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “Much hath happened in this one day,” said Brother Luke. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z Luke didn’t want to talk about the scale for another minute, let alone the next hour. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z When I opened my eyes, I saw Luke sprawled at the hearth. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z For a moment, Luke was too stunned to speak. The Lightning Thief 2005-07-01T00:00:00Z I didn’t want to lie in bed like an invalid while Luke was out there planning to destroy the Western world. The Lightning Thief 2005-07-01T00:00:00Z Even that didn’t coax the twins from Luke’s lap, at least not at first. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “I guess,” I said, because I had not seen Luke since Christmas vacation. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Luke leaned forward, once again feeling like he was going to throw up. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z On the wall hung a little cupboard which held Brother Luke’s few personal belongings and his breviary. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z Luke stared at the bedroom, fighting a million different impulses, each of which pulled him in a different direction. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z They were mostly thin, beautiful women in formfitting dresses, and heavyset men in what Luke’s dad and brothers called sissy clothes—shiny shoes and clean, dressy pants and jackets. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z It has been sixty-two days since she left Martinsdale Colony without saying good-bye to Luke Messenger. A Heart in a Body in the World 2018-09-18T00:00:00Z He sounded just like Luke when he’d tried to kill me in the woods at camp four years ago. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Luke was just finishing the last of the kitchen floor when he heard the toilet flushing upstairs. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Nonetheless, I think she deserves an honorable mention for her intense, best-supporting cameo in the Luke Hunter: Death Prophet saga, although I came off as a bit of a wimp in that particular episode. Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet 2007-04-30T00:00:00Z “Now, Luke, how are you doing?” he asked, sounding all concerned. Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet 2007-04-30T00:00:00Z All they needed was a way to navigate the Labyrinth so they could invade and destroy Camp Half-Blood, and Luke apparently thought that was going to happen very soon. The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z Coach put his hand onto Luke’s shoulder, and it felt like a boulder. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke felt the impending good-bye in his gut. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z That was the way she talked, even in front of Luke. The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z So Luke read cautiously, always ready to shove his population book under his pillow and replace it with one of his adventure books. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Went down to the Wilco to steal some candy bars, doughnuts, whatever they could get their hands on, to eat on the curb outside of Luke’s apartment. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z And I understood something else: When Luke had descended into the River Styx, he would’ve had to focus on something important that would hold him to his mortal life. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Luke stood to the side, carefully out of sight of the screen. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z “I don’t have one, except Dusty, who is really only Luke’s father.” Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z “Tomorrow we must really start to learn our way around. Luke, will you screen the fire?” The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z First there was Luke Castellan, her first crush, who had seen her only as a little sister; then he’d turned evil and decided he liked her—right before he died. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Luke caught it and didn’t hesitate for a second. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Annie put an arm around Luke and pulled him close to her. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z The letters Mother wrote back, painstakingly, late at night, when she’d saved up enough money for a stamp, contained plenty of news of Matthew and Mark, but never once had mentioned Luke’s name. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Luke already knew what he was going to say. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “You said you were coming to the match,” Luke said. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z A former navy officer was working on his B.S. degree in special education when he saw Luke’s listing on Florida’s adoption website. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Luke stepped through the clearing with a smile on his face. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Other than that, Luke barely said a word for the next fifteen minutes, doing nothing but picking at a salad and casually watching the entrance to the cafeteria. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z As soon as he connected, Luke wasn’t sure if he was going to throw another punch or throw up. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Toby reached and took down another plate, putting it with the others as Luke began spooning noodles onto the boys’ plates. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “The Air and Space Museum,” Luke corrected irritably. The Titan's Curse 2007-05-11T00:00:00Z “Hey, Luke,” he said, wrapping his arms across his chest and hunching up against the blast of cold that followed me inside. Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet 2007-04-30T00:00:00Z Luke barely moved, but it didn’t stop Toby. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “You put me here because you knew Clarisse would come after me, while you sent Luke around the flank. You had it all figured out.” The Lightning Thief 2005-07-01T00:00:00Z Luke groped blindly, fighting through what felt like piles of hair. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Every time Luke’s head twisted because of a falling plate, a shrill voice from the kitchen, it grated on Toby. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “Thank you,” said Luke grimly, “but we have a positive policy against going outside after dark. Arthur may, of course, if he cares to, but I will not.” The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z “Luke, when I laid my hands upon you, I felt Satan dwelling within you surely as I felt the glory of God.” Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet 2007-04-30T00:00:00Z Why hadn’t he at least warned Luke, or tried to raise him better so he wouldn’t turn evil? The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z He stopped at four and looked at Luke. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z But his eyes were daggers on Luke, who only smiled.

Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Luke’s teeth were still chattering so I also brought a wool blanket.

We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Mitchell got it to fly on the second try, and Luke was thrilled. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z As they ate, Toby caught Luke looking around the restaurant nervously.

Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z The words didn’t make sense to Luke, but they stopped Lily cold. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z As soon as she saw me she was like, “Luke, I brought you something.” We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke grabbed his backpack off the ground, eyeing the car and then Toby.

Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z I could not tell what annoyed her more: Luke’s buzzing around the room, Mr. Ferris’s prompting, or Mrs. Moss’s interference. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Whether it was Luke’s unchecked momentum, or Ricky’s diminutive stature, Luke lost leverage almost immediately.

We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “But—if you’re an illegal—” Luke hadn't thought he could get any more confused. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Toby had seen his dad challenged enough times to know that Luke had gotten off light. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z And Luke had stopped trying to fill them in a long time ago.

We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Hopefully, Luke paused in his burrowing into the Talbots' closet. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Luke followed to find her jerking open a closet door, then punching buttons on a panel of colored lights.

Maybe that will stop Luke’s invasion.” The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z Luke went to his room and climbed onto the stool by the back vents. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Luke nodded, and Coach O took him by the shoulders.

The Lightning Thief 2005-07-01T00:00:00Z Soon Luke was calling Adele “Mama” and my grandpa “Papa,” but I kept my promise to my mother and called them “Grandpa” and “Adele.” Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z It was in her voice when she said, “Luke, calm down. I’m sure he’s fine.” We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “So if I didn’t eat, my food would go to someone who was legal,” Luke said. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Luke hadn’t felt it until he stopped, but now his skin was suddenly puckering in the sharp air. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z When he turned back, Luke was leaning against the bumper of the El Camino, staring at the asphalt parking lot. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke was distraught and kept asking for me, but luckily, Lake Mag was less than two miles from where they lived, and the staff allowed me to visit him at the Merritts’ home. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Luke had given him everything he had, and his jaw still throbbed. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke hands me a church flyer with a drawing of Jesus giving me a thumbs-up. Free Lunch 2019-09-10T00:00:00Z More troubling was what popped into Luke’s head next. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z It seems cruel of Luke, to forget his girlfriend like this.

The Sea of Monsters 2006-04-01T00:00:00Z “So long as no one makes any puns about spirits and spirits,” Theodora said, holding out her glass to Luke to be filled. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z She should have remembered to put them on before she got off Luke’s wagon. Lyddie 1991-02-01T00:00:00Z Luke smiled and let him say every single word he wanted. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke didn’t answer, and she brought both of them to a stop. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke sprinted for the stairs, hoping whoever it was would just go away. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z I still remember what you said to that little girl in the hospital about Luke Skywalker: “He’s proof that it doesn't matter where you come from or who your family is.” Red, White & Royal Blue 2019-05-14T00:00:00Z But I watched as Luke grasped the hilt. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z “Luke is out there right now,” I said. The Lightning Thief 2005-07-01T00:00:00Z Luke saw lights on in some of the rooms some of the time, in other rooms as the day wore on. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z “Please, sir,” Luke was saying meekly, “who is planchette?” The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z After a while the staff felt Luke was mature enough to move into Lykes Cottage—but they were wrong. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Mother came over and gave Luke’s shoulder a reassuring squeeze before turning back to the stove. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Faith, conflicted by the death of her boyfriend, has confused Luke for someone special.

Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Dad gave Luke a dirty look and stalked over to the oven. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z And I learned that I’m even smarter than Luke at some things. Because of Mr. Terupt 2010-10-11T00:00:00Z “So Jen was careless,” the man said, with an edge to his voice that Luke didn’t understand. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z It began with Luke, the fourth of her five sons. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z “I don’t want to hear you talking like that,” Luke said. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z But then “Burning Love” came on, and he didn’t stop rewinding the tape until it was time to pick Luke up for school. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “Yes, well, Michael has a habit of talking too much. All I can tell you, Luke, is the Lord works in mysterious ways.” Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet 2007-04-30T00:00:00Z Luke had never thought about this until just now, and it made him laugh, a little too loudly, seeing as he was officially on the lam. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z He would eat and have fun and use every smile as a thorn, reminding Luke that he wasn’t the only one who was struggling to understand recent decisions. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke braced himself, but Ricky reached into his jeans pocket and pulled out three twenty-dollar bills, holding them out to Luke. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “Luke—” “Good-bye, Percy. There is a new Golden Age coming. You won’t be part of it.” The Lightning Thief 2005-07-01T00:00:00Z His scythe began to change, until he held Luke’s old weapon, Backbiter, with its half-steel, half- Celestial bronze blade. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Maybe if Luke wasn’t around, I could be with my mother. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z When he faked a punch at Toby this time, Luke jumped. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z This was the first time Toby had had fun with anybody besides Luke. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z He could understand how Luke became so spiteful. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z So when Mary Miller stopped by to check on Keisha when I was visiting Luke at the Merritts’ shortly before I moved in, I assumed she was just another one and ignored her.

Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z “Luke was just a little kid. Hermes never helped him, never stopped him from running away.” The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Luke couldn’t say that he didn’t think about Toby the rest of the day, but by the time wrestling practice rolled around, he was at least back to letting his annoyance outweigh the fear. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z It was hard to feel alone, but still I missed Luke. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z “What.. . what was wrong with Luke? What did they do to him?” The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z “He’s inside,” Luke said, “gloating over his haunted house.” The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z Seth hit him with a crossface and wrenched Luke down to the mat.

Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z Luke’s warriors were organizing themselves into a phalanx. The Sea of Monsters 2006-04-01T00:00:00Z “We haven’t had any batteries in, I don’t know, four or five years,” Luke explained. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Luke fell in behind him, nodding to Coach as he passed. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z The Princess Andromeda, Luke’s demon cruise ship, was docked at that beach. The Titan's Curse 2007-05-11T00:00:00Z It had taken Luke a while to figure it out—he certainly hadn’t dared ask anyone else in his family—but he thought maybe the people were thinking about buying the houses. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z She let the phone drop to her side as Luke walked by. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke dropped to the ground, but he couldn’t cry. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z The twins started crying, and Luke bent down to calm them. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke wondered if he should run back to his house immediately before the Population Police really did show up.

We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z I got to the sword-fighters arena and found that Luke had had the same idea. The Lightning Thief 2005-07-01T00:00:00Z Luke had collected the fuel in five-gallon buckets, which he began to haul across the yard to Dad’s flatbed. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z It was the first time Luke had been pinned in nearly four years. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “Please shut up,” Luke said, checking the kitchen again. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z And since I never left Lake Mag except for visits with my mother or Luke, I was bursting with excitement when I was told I would see them both. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Last winter, when we’d faced Luke and the Titan Adas on the top of Mount Tamalpais, the air had smelled just like that. The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z The thirteenth day was unseasonably warm, and Luke sweated in his attic. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z “Luke, honey? Can you eat sitting on the bottom step there?” Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Later the doctors would speculate that when Dad, Luke and Benjamin had wrestled Shawn to the ground—and he’d sustained a concussion—he was already in critical condition. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z Lyddie stood outside the gate, waiting until Luke and his wagon disappeared around the curve of the road. Lyddie 1991-02-01T00:00:00Z “No. Luke, you don’t scare me. I know you and Stan were really close and I figure you were, like, connecting on some other level or something. So somehow, somehow, without even knowing, you knew.” Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet 2007-04-30T00:00:00Z Right before the collision, Luke dropped to a knee and swept the wriggling kid up, squeezing him close to his shoulder. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “I’m afraid, Percy, that today has been something of a draw. We didn’t have the strength of numbers to take that ship. Luke was not organized enough to pursue us. Nobody won.” The Sea of Monsters 2006-04-01T00:00:00Z It was amazing how much misery the man could cause doing the same job Luke had managed to do without hurting anyone. Kindred 1979-06-01T00:00:00Z They jumped without asking and Luke caught both, one in each arm. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke suddenly felt doubly guilty for the potato chips he was still cramming into his mouth. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z “What did you mean about Luke’s mother? Did you meet her?” The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z She dried her hands and left the sink, something Luke had almost never seen her do if there were still dirty dishes left to be washed. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Luke was still awake when the sun finally started to peek above the clouds. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “Luke Castellan is dead! His body will burn away as I assume my true form!” The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z “I’m going to live with you and Drew and his mother, but Luke isn’t.” Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Luke had been twisted and evil long before Kronos possessed him. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Luke worked out with the assistant coaches, both of them quitting before he needed to. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z This time, at least, Luke was more interested in Matthew’s leg cast than in harassing me, but it was hardly the birthday party of my dreams. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Luke frowned and wrote on the paper, Why not take off? Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z I’d seen just how mean people could be to each other, like Hercules was to Zoe Nightshade, like Luke was to Thalia. The Titan's Curse 2007-05-11T00:00:00Z When Luke tried to bridge, Herrera snuck an arm around his chest and locked Luke’s head up with the other arm.

A Heart in a Body in the World 2018-09-18T00:00:00Z “The sooner we leave, the better,” Luke said. The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z “Arthur is rather more to my taste. And Luke is a coward, I think.” The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z Luke pointed the gun at him and struggled to hold it steady. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z And Hestia’s words about Luke's mom kept coming back to me: May Castellan went too far. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Luke and Benjamin helped him prop himself against the pickup, then went back to work. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z “Luke will do what he can. He always has.” Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Holding his breath, Luke stopped outside the door to that room and gathered the nerve to peek in. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Luke raised his head as much as he could. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z “I hope you will find comfort in the fact that Luke died instantly.

The alarm!” Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z And he didn’t wait for Luke to respond.

We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke took off his headgear and tossed it to the corner. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “She has done this before,” Luke said to the doctor.

The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z Luke craned his head to see what she wrote: “Guess what?

We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z When they were gone, Toby still didn’t know what to say to Luke. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “I have already mentioned this to Luke and Theodora,” he said.

We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke was not still for a minute, but moved back and forth across the shadows, filling glasses, stirring the fire, touching the marble cupid; he was bright in the firelight, and restless. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z They weren’t a mile from Luke’s apartment when Jimmy fell asleep. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke stepped off the scale and disappeared back to his locker. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z I’d like to have Luke here, in this bedroom while I’m getting dressed, so I could have a fight with him. The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z She was happy enough, and I’d turned my back, the cat-food section I think it was; Luke was over at the side of the store, out of sight, at the meat counter. The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z Before Dad could scramble to his feet Shawn took off, leaping and howling and laughing, and Luke and Benjamin, now sure something was very wrong, chased after him.

A Heart in a Body in the World 2018-09-18T00:00:00Z Once a year, Luke, Richard and I would help Grandpa round up a dozen or so to take to the auction in town, where they’d be sold for slaughter.

The Titan's Curse 2007-05-11T00:00:00Z Luke shook his head and sat down on the couch because his knees were feeling a little shaky. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Now she thought, Theo is being spiteful and Luke is trying to be nice; Luke is ashamed of himself for laughing at me and he is ashamed of Theo for being spiteful. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z “And that’s the end of it,” Luke added with a sigh. Crispin: The Cross of Lead 2002-06-01T00:00:00Z The whole school had to go outside ’cause of Luke. Because of Mr. Terupt 2010-10-11T00:00:00Z Coach opened the door in shorts, a T-shirt, and Luke almost broke into tears right there on the steps. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z So the hotels, with Luke, didn’t mean only love or even only sex to me. The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z “I don’t know if she’s coming back or not,” Luke said. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z What did he expect—that the other kid would run out in his backyard and yell, “Hey, Luke, come out and play!” Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z “Luke, you have to understand that we are not defined solely by our choices. Even by our actions, to some extent. None of us are.” We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z I looked out at the fires in Harlem, wondering how many sleeping mortals were in danger right now because of Luke’s bad choices. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Their oldest son, Logan, round and berry-brown from a day in the sun, is digging a hole nearby, while the newest addition, Luke, lies on a quilt wearing a swim diaper.

We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “And what did Luke say they would do when Kronos had risen completely?” The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z Toby helped Luke carry them up the long stairs. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Does he know something, has he seen Luke, has he found, can he bring back? The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z “We have to find the workshop before Luke does. If Daedalus is alive, we convince him to help us* not Luke.

The danger...I know you’re lonely, but honey, promise us, never again...” Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z “You think ... Luke actually loved me? After all that happened?” The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Toby didn’t want to think about Luke, or the fact that school was already out. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z He didn’t seem to want to look at Luke. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z I hoped I had hit the right note, but Luke made silly faces and purposely yawned, stealing my moment. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z She gave Luke a kiss and ran out the door. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z As Brother Luke had told him, he mustn’t forget oil for the rusty lock of the door in the wall. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z He was studying Luke as intently as Luke had been studying him. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Even when he and Luke talked about going to Iowa, he always came up against a brick wall. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Cool Hand Luke, Brubaker, The Shawshank Redemption, and many others paint melodramatic pictures of prison life that have some common denominators. Newjack: Guarding Sing Sing 2000-01-01T00:00:00Z “But will you follow Luke’s path? Seek the same powers?” The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Everybody on the blue team picked up Luke and started carrying him around on their shoulders. The Lightning Thief 2005-07-01T00:00:00Z Luke’s menu was sitting in front of him on the table.

To come over here.” Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet 2007-04-30T00:00:00Z The man's expression didn’t change, but Luke thought he saw a flicker of interest in his eyes. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z They were getting comfortable again, Luke could feel it. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z He tossed a tennis ball and Luke caught it. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z When Coach O came over and asked him how he was doing, Luke told him he felt great. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “So, Luke, I want you to know how happy we are that you finally decided to come to see us. As you know, we’ve been worried about you.” Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet 2007-04-30T00:00:00Z Luke Bryan’s singing about rain, and whiskey, and his girl gettin’ frisky. Dry 2018-10-02T00:00:00Z Luke laid him in the middle of the space and then started putting the plane back together. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Everybody from cabin eleven gathered in the big circular arena, where Luke would be our instructor. The Lightning Thief 2005-07-01T00:00:00Z When Jen pulled her hand back, Luke saw a gash even deeper than his.

We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke reached down to touch the stiff edge of an I.D. card. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z The doctor was tense, standing by the door, and Luke moved over to stand beside him. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z Luke nodded, picturing them flying off the road, hitting cows or trees or anything else that would kill them. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z She stepped aside, and even Luke seemed stunned by what he saw. The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z But Herrera had already slipped one under Luke, wrenching his neck. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z It rained for the next several days, so Luke read constantly, not even tempted to race over to Jen’s instead. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z “First the Deuce. And missing school,” Luke said. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke nodded and took a bite of the apple he’d gotten from Coach O earlier. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke knew he should feel something, but his entire body, his mind, had finally gone empty. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke didn’t answer at first, but then he shook his head. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Later that year he was registered as a ‘Master Painter’ in the Guild of Saint Luke...became a director of the same guild several times...had eleven children. Chasing Vermeer 2004-06-01T00:00:00Z Luke could tell the boys weren’t sure if they were supposed to be happy or not. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z At lunch, Luke made another pot of spaghetti while Toby sat in the living room with the twins. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “If I fail, you get all of us. Trade us all to Luke for gold.” The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z Toby pushed against his arm in protest, and Luke let him go, suddenly aware that he had his friend pinned against a tree. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke came over, the banner in his hand forgotten, his moment of glory gone. The Lightning Thief 2005-07-01T00:00:00Z As soon as they had eaten the bread and cheese, Brother Luke helped Robin up the narrow stair and put him to bed on the straw pallet. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z I knew what room he was in ’cause I heard Luke say it. Because of Mr. Terupt 2010-10-11T00:00:00Z It hadn't even occurred to me, but she was right I had turned sixteen this morning—the same morning I’d made the choice to give Luke the knife. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z None of the Population Police answered Jen’s father, but the pattern of shadows that fell on Luke’s blanket made him think the Population Police were standing right in the doorway of the closet. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z “What a fool I am,” Theodora said to him, and Luke laughed. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z She was giving Luke a stare that even Toby couldn’t have pulled from her in his worst moments. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “So it is wrong,” Luke said, trying to grasp the point. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z “Here,” Luke said, and a little winding shiver of sickness went down Eleanor’s back when she saw that he was holding a lighted match up to the wall. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z Then he reached back, presumably trying for some kind of reverse, and Luke hammered the kid. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z I also believe that Luke is sitting up, in a rectangle somewhere, gray cement, on a ledge or the edge of something, a bed or chair. The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z When Luke said it, his mom reached for a cigarette and lit it without looking at Luke. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “A lot of happy schoolboys Arthur no doubt left behind,”Luke said softly to Theodora, and Theodora said, “But today is only Saturday.” The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z “I see this is to be a sailing boat after all, instead of a barge,” said Brother Luke. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z “Good morning,” she said, ducking her head under Luke’s arm and wrapping her arms around his chest. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z He wanted to turn up the music so loud that Luke could hear it back at school. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z The sun warmed the water; Luke began to shift uncomfortably. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z “I’ve never been to a concert,” Luke said, dropping next to her. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke had to decide he didn’t care about being right anymore. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Toby could barely hear what Luke was saying when Ms. Hildebran came to the door, but he knew the script well enough. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Brother Luke looked patient, said nothing, but continued to hold the food ready, and Robin gave in. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z When Luke looked at Ricky, he realized he was wearing a pair of pressed blue jeans and a button-up cowboy shirt, complete with bolo tie. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “Nothing,” Luke said, turning Treasure Island right side up at the very last moment. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Luke called, back braced against the door, holding the doctor by the shoulders. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z Luke had not made it to this visit, so I asked, “Is Luke at your house now?” Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z He popped Luke on the thigh with his towel and walked away. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “When you stand where they can look at you,” Luke explained, “they freeze you.” The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z “Lyddie?” he said again, and she knew him for Luke Stevens. Lyddie 1991-02-01T00:00:00Z The waiter walked up and began arranging the salad bowl and breadsticks on the table, saving Toby from having to spell it out for Luke. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “I need to get them out of the apartment,” Luke said, grabbing the plates. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z As he stood there, bent over and sucking wind, he thought about Luke. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke was trying to warm up when he heard his mom’s voice. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z He wished he could dip the quill into the inkpot and inscribe letters and draw pictures such as Brother Luke had done. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z Luke needed something he could hold on to, could use to navigate the world. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z It reminded me of the way Annabeth sometimes talked about Luke. The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z It was exactly like Rachel’s sketch—Luke around nine years old, with blond hair and a big smile and two missing teeth.

Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z Luke spat upon the ground and said, “He’s no kin of Lord Lurnival. Only of his wife.” Crispin: The Cross of Lead 2002-06-01T00:00:00Z “The Hunters will be difficult to dispose of” Luke said. The Titan's Curse 2007-05-11T00:00:00Z Even if Luke wanted to tell him more, what would he say? We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Brother Luke set Robin down beside him on the oaken bench in his own particular place, where he could spread out the pages of handwritten manuscript on which he was working. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z Luke held the door, and they both squinted into the bright halogen of the store. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Grandpa did not say much, but Adele cooed over Luke, who clung to her neck. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Once he was close, he shot for Luke’s legs. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “I like Luke’s idea,” Jeffrey piped up when he got the mike. Because of Mr. Terupt 2010-10-11T00:00:00Z “Luke,” I said, trying to catch my breath. The Titan's Curse 2007-05-11T00:00:00Z When they were gone, Doreen took another long hit on the cigarette before she turned to Luke and said, “I’m having a friend over for dinner tonight. So I’ll need you here to help.” We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke wondered if his parents could set up the same kind of system. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Then, when all was ready except changing his clothes, he sought out Brother Luke, for he knew that the friar would give him help and encouragement. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z Luke stopped in the middle of pulling the attic door shut behind him. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Luke didn’t doubt for one second that Coach O had called the police. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z We were both silent, until Luke seemed to realize what he’d said. The Lightning Thief 2005-07-01T00:00:00Z Toby didn’t even glance in Luke’s direction, though. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke and the doctor strained against the door, as though desperately holding it shut, and the floor moved under their feet. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z While we were working on a project, Luke would follow Grandpa around like a baby duckling behind its mother. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Luke didn’t know why, but he had a feeling what she really meant was that things were going to get worse. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z I slept lightly, waking at the first sounds of fussing, at the slightest shifting of weight, so I could fetch the ice and tinctures before Luke became fully conscious and the pain gripped him. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z One winter, when I was very young, Luke found a great horned owl in the pasture, unconscious and half frozen. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z This time I really did expect Mr. Ferris to be waiting for Luke and me after school with our belongings in plastic bags. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z He’d pull it out later, if he ever saw Luke again. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “We get better food later on after the white folks eat,” said Luke. Kindred 1979-06-01T00:00:00Z “The builder, Daedalus, was a genius. But the point is, the Labyrinth has entrances everywhere. If Luke could figure out how to navigate it, he could move his army around with incredible speed.” The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z “He did say you and Luke had given the best interviews.” Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z At first Luke didn’t even acknowledge the attempt. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z He was grilling slices of bacon over the fire, and standing beside him was Brother Luke holding a large loaf from which he was cutting huge slices of bread. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z Annabeth glanced into the living room and held up a burned cookie for Luke to see. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z That line from Cool Hand Luke said it all for me, whether I was talking to myself or to someone else. Hole in My Life 2002-03-26T00:00:00Z She leaned close to Luke and whispered, “Maybe you can put it on for me later.” We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke and Thalia both looked hungry and lean, with wild animal eyes, like they were used to being attacked. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Thalia and Luke went spear on sword, lightning still flashing around them. The Titan's Curse 2007-05-11T00:00:00Z He circled around behind Luke and snapped off the computer. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z When Luke opened his apartment door, the lights were on, and at first he thought that had to be a good sign. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z In Luke’s memory, Dad took Luke to the house, administered a homeopathic for shock, then put him in a tub of cold water, where he left him to go fight the fire. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z Luke remembers the pallet, but substitutes a metal drain, with the grating removed, in place of the rebar. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z Luke looked at the bills but wouldn’t take them. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke was obviously swallowing back so many things he wanted to say. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z He spun around, trying to hide himself so fast Luke was sure it was Jimmy. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Toby took a breath and finally met Luke’s eyes. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z I thought about Luke’s look of rage when I'd tried to talk to him about his dad. The Sea of Monsters 2006-04-01T00:00:00Z Luke and the doctor were standing on the veranda, looking out over the lawn; the front door was oddly close, beyond them. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z Sleep overtook Robin even before Brother Luke had finished. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z Luke always said the twins were wild, but Toby knew wild. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke would have backed out, muttering, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z I had a feeling that when she said “figure something out,” she meant “get Luke to change his ways,” which annoyed me even more. The Titan's Curse 2007-05-11T00:00:00Z “I didn’t know she was going to drive me home,” Luke said. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z They wrestled for a few seconds before Luke stood up and yelled their names. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke has no memory of who dialed 911, but says there were men working in a nearby mill, and he suspects that one of them called immediately after Shawn fell. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z Someday my mother and I would show up and demand the release of Luke and our possessions—and then that witch would be sorry! Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z When he finished there was a moment’s silence, and then Theodora said weakly, “It’s lovely, Luke. Perfectly beautiful. I will never hear it again without thinking of you.” The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z When he turned in to the apartment, Luke was sitting on the steps waiting for him. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “Of course it will be all right,” Luke said grimly. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z I wanted to ask why he'd been at May Castellan’s house that night, and what had happened after he caught Luke. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Thalia backed Luke to the edge of a cliff, but still they fought on, next to the golden coffin. The Titan's Curse 2007-05-11T00:00:00Z As Seabiscuit cantered to the post for the San Antonio, Pollard lay on his hospital cot at St. Luke’s. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z She had her hands cuffed behind her back, a gag in her mouth, and Luke was holding the point of his sword to her throat. The Titan's Curse 2007-05-11T00:00:00Z Luke said his name, but Toby was already rolling. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “She was standing almost sideways when I caught her,” Luke said. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z “Listen, Annabeth—” I thought about Mount St. Helens, Calypso’s Island, Luke and Rachel Elizabeth Dare, and how suddenly everything had gotten so complicated. The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z While the bin filled, I helped Luke balance on one foot and lower his burned leg, now wrapped in black plastic, into the garbage can. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z Luke ate every meal after that on the bottom step. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Come back, she almost said, standing shaking by the brook, and then she turned and ran madly up the hill, crying as she ran and calling, “Theo? Luke?” The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z “Luke Garner,” she announced solemnly, “you have come to the right place. Forget that hiding-like-a-mole stuff. I’m your ticket out.” Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Luke watched the Sports Family house constantly after that. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z “There wasn’t anything to eat in the house,” Luke said plainly. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z He looked inquiringly at Luke, who shook his head. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z “You can’t count on friends. They will always let you down. Luke learned that lesson the hard way. Now drop your sword and surrender to me, or your friend dies.” The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z She stumbled, twisting her ankle, and Luke scooped her up to carry her. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Luke didn’t want to hear any of that, so Toby smiled. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Then Luke got back into the car, too fast, and turned the key and reversed. The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z Luke found the cat, who was hiding under our bed. The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z “I could go get the VCR from the apartment,” Luke said, continuing to ignore him. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Of course Luke was right about the wine, the beers he hadn’t copped to yet. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z I held my breath as Luke took his time to answer. Crispin: The Cross of Lead 2002-06-01T00:00:00Z Luke didn’t want to leave Annie, but he was relieved when she nodded. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z They exploded onto the deck with such ferocity and color that for a moment even Luke was stunned. The Sea of Monsters 2006-04-01T00:00:00Z Luke hid under the bed at bath time, threw food on the floor, and bit other children. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Luke ignored it and soon enough was deep in his warm-ups—somersaults, cartwheels, front handsprings—only stopping when Coach O came up beside him. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z When a staff member pulled him off me, Luke turned and kicked the wall. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z It’s going at a good speed now, Luke is gripping the wheel. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z Luke had to force himself to say the next part. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z From his seat on the stairs, Luke had to hold himself back from going to fish the edge of the letter out of the chicken gravy and looking at it himself. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Toby opened his mouth into a snarl and gave Luke the crazy eyes. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z I have memories of walking around that trailer park carrying Luke’s bottle and begging for milk. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Luke asked the doctor, and the doctor, shaking his head, said, “I would swear that it was blood, and yet to get so much blood one would almost have to...” and then was abruptly quiet. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z Luke yelled at them to scrape the noodles off, but they were already wrestling on the floor of the living room. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Thalia and Luke had gotten captured, and Annabeth had had to cut them free. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Luke tried to smooth the garbage bag, which suddenly seemed impossibly wrinkled. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Coach looked tired, more tired than Luke had ever seen him before. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z I just had time to say, “Run!” when the doors of the stateroom burst open and there was Luke, flanked by two hairy, giants armed with javelins, their bronze tips aimed right at our chests. The Sea of Monsters 2006-04-01T00:00:00Z He drew rein and waited for Brother Luke to come abreast of him. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z But there was a wall around Luke, shielding him from the glares of Coach O. The other coach, yelling. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke and I were selected to be on the Christian Television Network. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z The youngest, Luke, she had seen more often, back in the days when she had gone to school. Lyddie 1991-02-01T00:00:00Z “How would you feel if you and Luke were both adopted—but by different families who live near each other?” Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z I wasn’t sure who she was talking to—me or Luke or Kronos. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z She didn’t want Luke Stevens watching while she bid Charles good-bye, but again maybe it was better. Lyddie 1991-02-01T00:00:00Z He and Brother Luke shared Bayard, the horse, taking turn about, one riding, the other walking beside Robin. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z Both Luke and I had separate negligence lawsuits against the Mosses as well as against the state. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z She reached down like she wanted to touch Luke’s face, but at the last second she hesitated. The Titan's Curse 2007-05-11T00:00:00Z By mid-September, Luke’s days had fallen into a familiar pattern. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Luke would bark under his breath every time he passed Soojin for months. Amina's Voice 2017-03-14T00:00:00Z “Your friend Luke—” “He’s not my friend,” I blurted out. The Titan's Curse 2007-05-11T00:00:00Z Three hours later—Luke and Toby hadn’t had a class together since sixth grade—Toby walked into the lunchroom, cool as anything. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “We made a dozen safe houses like this. I doubt Luke even remembers where they are. Or cares.” The Sea of Monsters 2006-04-01T00:00:00Z Luke stormed out the door, Thalia and Annabeth scrambling after him. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z “She believed what she wanted to. But I’m afraid—” He stopped, and Luke was afraid Jen’s dad might start crying again. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Always while Brother Luke talked he rubbed away at Robin’s legs, then turned him and smoothed his back. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z Between the bubbly drink and her enthusiastic pounding, Luke started coughing. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z And Luke had been there too—good again, welcoming her home. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z “I saw Luke a few times,” he said. Lyddie 1991-02-01T00:00:00Z Luke longed to ask what “circumstances” he meant, but the man was already asking another question. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z And every moment from then on—whenever Luke started to stray in school or in practice—Coach O would remind him of the promise he’d made. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “Annabeth was so little, I don’t think she really understood what she saw. She just knew Luke was upset” I looked out the hotel windows at Central Park. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z When Toby finally opened his eyes, he saw Luke and tried to sit up. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke could find a place to hide until everything calmed down. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Last summer, before Luke had turned into Kronos and everything went sour, there had been a few times when I thought maybe ... well, that we might get past the strangle-each-other phase. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Then the darkness above Luke began to crumble, like a cavern roof in an earthquake. The Titan's Curse 2007-05-11T00:00:00Z At this hour they are reported in serious condition at Presbyterian St. Luke’s. Things Not Seen 2002-01-01T00:00:00Z All these years, I hadn’t realized it was a gift from Luke. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z I can still hear Luke and his friend jeering at me from the side of the stage. Amina's Voice 2017-03-14T00:00:00Z Luke sees me and Maya and reaches his arms toward us. The Hate U Give 2017-02-28T00:00:00Z Annie came up behind him, her face mirroring everything Luke was feeling. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke told the boys to get their jackets on, standing up like the conversation was over. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke stood on the balcony above me, a smile on his scarred face. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Meekly, Luke pulled over a padded chair and sat down. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Eventually Luke, who was twelve, asked if we could help. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z Luke shot, took the legs, and slammed the kid to the mat. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Annie looked to the side, like there was somebody else who could validate Luke’s weirdness. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Toby half expected Luke to jump toward them, but he stood there, a strange “I told you so” expression on his face. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Not to avoid injury—there was no possibility of that—but that the injury would be like Luke’s, a wedge of flesh, so I could go to the house, too. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z Luke Stevens says he has had no reply. Lyddie 1991-02-01T00:00:00Z “Luke, we're just trying to protect you. How about a big slice of your bread? There’s cold beef and canned beans, too.” Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z “I saw a lot out there in the world, Percy,” Luke said. The Lightning Thief 2005-07-01T00:00:00Z Toby was about to follow her when Luke called his name and jogged to catch up. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke reached for her playfully and she laughed again, jumping out of his reach. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z It only lasted a second, maybe two, but Luke was spinning when she pulled away and wiped her lips. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke still looked conflicted, as if Toby was asking him to choose between life and death. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Then Luke saw Ethan, and his face contorted into a very inhuman smile. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Luke might never see the other kid again. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z “I wanted you to come to Luke’s match,” Toby said. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke kicked the nose of the plane as hard as he could. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z With another touch of his mother’s hand, Robin left the company and went to find Brother Luke and to make himself ready for the audience. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z If I could use Luke’s anger, get him to talk so everybody could hear how crazy his plans were ... The Sea of Monsters 2006-04-01T00:00:00Z Luke ran hard, harder than he probably should have after practice. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z He wasn’t a big man, a good six inches shorter than Luke. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke turned his knife and offered her the handle. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z So when the rusted hatchback slammed its brakes and then backed toward him with an unhealthy whirring sound, Luke almost kept running. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Cabin eleven was too nervous to have sword class with me after what I’d done to the Ares folks in the woods, so my lessons with Luke became one-on-one. The Lightning Thief 2005-07-01T00:00:00Z “I’m sorry, but I need to know. What happened to May? She said something about Luke’s fate, and her eyes—” Hermes glared at me, and my voice faltered. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Luke stared at his mom, but all she did was move food around her plate. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z If Luke had been one of the Population Police, Jen’s dad would have scared him to pieces. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Luke could remember a time when his greatest longing had been for Mark to outgrow the train so Luke could have it all to himself. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z My whole world tipped upside down, and I gave the knife to Luke. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z As Luke was opening his mouth to downplay it, to tell her it wasn’t a problem—that Toby was as tough as he was annoying—Annie leaned over and kissed him. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Him and Luke in the back of a Greyhound bus—hell, in the El Camino now—following whatever highway would take them out of Hickory, North Carolina, fastest. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z My mother’s latest boyfriend distracted Luke while she gave me a bracelet, a package of crayons, and a coloring book. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z “Zoe and I got into a fight. She told me I was being stupid. She said I’d regret my choice. She said Luke would let me down someday.” The Titan's Curse 2007-05-11T00:00:00Z Luke let Lowry up again, giving up another point before throwing him back to the mat almost immediately. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Coach stood up, almost as if he was inviting Luke to choose: run or not. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z What everyone agrees upon, strangely, is that somehow Luke ended up on the front lawn, his leg in a garbage can. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z The two heads bent over the parchment together, Brother Luke’s tonsured, Robin’s dark and thickly thatched. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z Now Luke looked back at his family’s porch, where Mother and Dad and Matthew and Mark were standing and already waving. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Luke couldn’t tell if she was amused or, maybe, had already entertained the idea of incapacitating his friend. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke Messenger just sits back in one of the red padded chairs of Big Chuck’s with his hands folded across his chest, calm as the setting sun. A Heart in a Body in the World 2018-09-18T00:00:00Z Luke’s long legs purposefully shortened their stride so that she would not have to skip to keep up. Lyddie 1991-02-01T00:00:00Z Quiet now, Luke was resting, or as near to resting as he could be standing up. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z But I realized that it would be stupid to pass up this opportunity—with or without Luke. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Once she had begun the paperwork for Luke, Mother decided she might as well get birth certificates for all of us. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z He covered the plate with foil and shoved it into Luke’s hands. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “I’m sorry about bringing her yesterday,” Luke said. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Usually, Luke would just let him talk until he lost interest. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “If my mother had forced Luke or me to drink hot sauce, paddled us, or not fed us, we would have been placed in foster care, wouldn’t we?” Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z My blade hit the base of Luke’s and I twisted, putting my whole weight into a downward thrust. The Lightning Thief 2005-07-01T00:00:00Z “I think it’s taken a fancy to you,” Luke said. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z Five minutes later Luke’s arm was gashed to the bone and he was running toward the house, blood spurting. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z Knowing these things could not be changed— despite the words of men like Matthew and Luke— I cared little for such matters. Crispin: The Cross of Lead 2002-06-01T00:00:00Z Luke's room was also the attic, a fact he had never minded. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z It was him and Luke and the boys and it was glorious. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Though who knew what would happen when Luke left for school next year. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z He motioned for Brother Luke to go down first, showing by gestures how he would hand down the bags, Robin’s crutches, and lastly Robin. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z Despite the performance, Luke’s eyes never left the car. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke arrived with Mr. Hines, who called me “Pumpkin” and ruffled my hair. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z “I can walk from here easy,” Charles protested, but Luke shook him off. Lyddie 1991-02-01T00:00:00Z When she was gone, Toby stood next to Luke—both of them staring at the empty parking lot. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “It’s the only way I can stand up to Luke.” The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z “She wasn’t right! Luke never let me down. Never.” The Titan's Curse 2007-05-11T00:00:00Z Luke shrugged, and it was so dismissive, so arrogant. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke had squared up to Jimmy only once before, and nothing had happened. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z When Connor got on top of him, Luke focused on his hands, his feet. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke knocked on the thin door of the trailer and waited. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Coach O told them to leave everything they had on the mat—blood, sweat, all of it—and Luke treated it like gospel. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “I’m not Dutchy, either—or Hans, for that matter. I’m Luke.” Orphan Train 2013-04-02T00:00:00Z The way Toby told it, he was in Patty Simpson’s bed—itself inconceivable to Luke—with his pants half off when her father came home and Toby went for the window. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Staring into the ring of candles—proud that the number of his years finally made a ring, all around the cake—Luke suddenly remembered another cake, another ring of six candles. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Luke never made any progress, and after a year Mother gave up. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z “For God’s sake be careful,” the doctor said as Luke moved steadily on. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z Luke dropped to his knees, blood coming out of his ear. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z She is aware of their sleep sounds: a rustle of sheets, the sleeping bag Luke prefers, unzipping to let the cool air in. A Heart in a Body in the World 2018-09-18T00:00:00Z Luke was watching him when he noticed Annie standing in the doorway. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Slowly and carefully he spelled out the letter to Robin, who would not change a word of it, but signed his name with Brother Luke guiding his hand. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z For a guy like Simpson—a fellow senior who’d been stuck behind Luke for three years—he could go half speed if he wanted. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke almost felt he knew his relatives, though they lived hundreds of miles away. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Luke faltered, and he stood there wordless and wondering what he could say to get through to Toby. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z There had always been something special about Boobie, even in the way he was born, on April 16, 1970, en route to St. Luke’s Hospital in Houston with a police escort. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z They wanted the cops to go after Luke and then forget they’d ever stepped foot inside the Deuce. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z If Toby went to the apartment right now, a mea culpa on his lips, Luke would forgive him. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z I wondered if Ms. Castellan had been so crazy when Luke was little. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Luke still felt a little foolish, but he nodded. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z It still rose up into Luke’s throat every time he saw her. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z When the first light of morning peeked through the blinds of the apartment, Luke leaned over and kissed Annie gently on the ear. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z At any rate, Luke was amused, his aunt grateful, and Dr. Montague more than satisfied. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z Before they could run off, Luke grabbed the boxes and tossed them to Toby. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Adele made a big fuss over Luke’s third birthday in July with a homemade cake, balloons, and fancy hats for us and her grandchildren. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z But trying to figure everything out made Luke’s head hurt. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Mark couldn’t have known Robert Joe when he was six, because he would have been hiding then, like Luke. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Luke stopped himself, but Toby didn’t want anything left unsaid. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke wished Mother had just thrown them away. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z It was more emotion than Toby had seen from Luke in weeks. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Before I could stop him, he charged Luke. The Sea of Monsters 2006-04-01T00:00:00Z When they got to the parking lot, Luke jumped out of the car without a word, pretending not to hear Toby call his name. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke didn’t want to start a fight, but if they stacked up the evidence side by side, he was pretty sure the case for Lily would crumble. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “Maybe they can fix it up,” Toby said to Luke, shaking his head. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z For a second, he didn’t think Luke was going to respond. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke could feel the corner of The Population Disaster poking his back throughout the entire game. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z They had been eleven, maybe a little older, when Toby snuck Luke into the trailer and showed him the revolver. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Perhaps the same logic was extended to Luke: Luke would need income to support a family, to buy supplies and prepare for the End of Days, so he needed a birth certificate. Educated 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z Luke always pictured them with monster scales and fierce claws because of the number of times he'd been cautioned, “You don’t want the Willikers to see you.” Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z I dreamed I was with Luke, walking through the dark palace on top of Mount Tam. The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z I thought about what Luke had told me right before he’d tried to lull me: Good-bye, Percy. The Sea of Monsters 2006-04-01T00:00:00Z More than likely, Luke was already tearing himself apart because of the punch. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke and Nigel finished their meal and went to the fireplace to say something privately to Sarah. Kindred 1979-06-01T00:00:00Z Luke thought about this for a long time, or at least it seemed like a long time. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Nor will I be his freight—some homeless fugitive that Luke Stevens must bend down his lofty Quaker soul to rescue. Lyddie 1991-02-01T00:00:00Z They also had an adopted son, Matthew, who was about twelve; Luke; and a foster baby named Keisha. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Inside the room was a chair and a desk and a big apparatus that Luke vaguely recognized as a computer. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z But hiding on the staircase, Luke suddenly felt like the radio was as loud as an entire orchestra, like the smell of baking bread could fill three counties. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z It took several days before I realized Luke was not coming to my new foster home, which was nowhere near my grandfather’s house. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z That summer Luke stayed home while I went to the beach with Leanne, her boyfriend, and his daughter, Savannah, who was about my age. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z “We thought you heard us calling you. Didn’t we, Luke?” The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z “No, you were right. Luke loved you. At the end, he realized his fate. I think he realized why you couldn’t help him. He remembered what was important.” The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z But once Luke said it, it felt real for the first time. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke would not let me out of his sight. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z I sort of helped rescue him from Luke’s demon cruise ship a few years ago, and ever since, he insisted on repaying me with favors. The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z Then, after only four months, Mrs. Hines announced that Luke and I were going to live with my grandfather. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Maybe the fear and the run and the nearness of Luke Messenger are killing her right now, even if that lightning missed her. A Heart in a Body in the World 2018-09-18T00:00:00Z Apparently she was oblivious to my mouthful of food, because she kept nudging me and saying, “Well, Luke, what do you think? What do you think?” Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet 2007-04-30T00:00:00Z Toby didn’t remember falling asleep, only waking up when Luke opened the front door and the early morning light slipped into the dark apartment. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “You let it out. That’s right, Luke. Let all the bad stuff out.” Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet 2007-04-30T00:00:00Z “It’s after eleven,” Eleanor said, and as she turned to glance at the chess game the doctor shouted with joyful triumph, and Luke laughed. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z “I’m making meat loaf,” she said to Luke. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Finding him curled up in the belly of that rotted-out plane shook Luke, more than he wanted to admit. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z I was furious—not at the Hudsons, who had been so patient and loving, but at Luke, who had blown his big chance. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Now Luke climbed on top of one of the largest trunks and looked down through the vent. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z There’s Hailey, sitting on top of it, having a heated discussion with curly-haired, dimpled Luke. The Hate U Give 2017-02-28T00:00:00Z “You know that. This comes down to you and Luke. And there’s only one way you can beat Luke.” The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z They only got a few steps before Luke jumped forward and blocked the door. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke held out his hand, the way he’d approach a wild animal. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “I don’t think it’s fair we’ve got to do Luke’s chores now,” Luke’s other brother, Mark, grumbled. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Luke didn’t answer, kept smiling at his plate of carrots. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z At my tenth Luke hogged my candles and messed up my cake. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Luke came running up the hill, carrying a pair of basketball shoes. The Lightning Thief 2005-07-01T00:00:00Z Luke nodded his head with a dip of his funny black hat. Lyddie 1991-02-01T00:00:00Z The giant next to Luke must’ve been fifteen feet tall, easy, and so wide he took up three seats. The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z “I’m just saying, if this gamble doesn’t pay off—” “It’ll pay off;’ Luke snapped. The Sea of Monsters 2006-04-01T00:00:00Z We figured it was important we let somebody know what Luke was doing, and we didn’t know who else to trust. The Sea of Monsters 2006-04-01T00:00:00Z By the time the final bell rang, Luke felt good. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke wished he’d had the nerve to ask about the Population Law, or the famines, or even some family history. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Then Robin knew that Brother Luke had seen him throw the pieces of the cross and the chisel. The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z It wouldn’t last, he knew, but for a moment Luke felt calm. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z The other tried to grab Tyson, but Tyson knocked him into a pile of luggage and roared at Luke. The Sea of Monsters 2006-04-01T00:00:00Z Luke felt like a fool for asking as soon as the words were out of his mouth. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z In Luke’s country, the Government began rationing food, only allowing people to have 1,500 calories a day. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Before I could react, Tyson’s voice changed again, becoming deeper and gruffer, like the other guy we’d heard talking to Luke outside the cafeteria. The Sea of Monsters 2006-04-01T00:00:00Z Luke and the other kid could live right next door all their lives and never meet. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z At an actual meet, Luke’s routine began as soon as the 126s started—slowly transforming into a workout probably more vigorous than his coach liked. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Mark kicked the toy train Luke had crashed. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Alone again, Luke felt a little sorry he’d been so mean. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Luke sat up, checking his arms to make sure she hadn’t broken anything. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Mr. Hooper took a chair and listened while my mother tried to explain that Luke was not going to be my brother any longer. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Doreen and Ricky were in the bedroom, getting the boys ready for the day’s adventure, and Luke was in the shower. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z When Luke and Nigel took Sarah out of the room with them, I feasted on a shapeless sandwich. Kindred 1979-06-01T00:00:00Z Because Luke had been so disruptive, he had to repeat kindergarten, and he continued to bother me whenever he felt the need to quell his anxieties. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z When Luke went into the hallway, Toby was still leaning up against the wall. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “Luke and I will stay up and watch, and I want you two ladies in here where we can keep an eye on you. Something’s going to happen,” he said. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z As soon as he dropped his hands and got into his stance, Luke attacked and drove him down hard. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Jimmy didn’t like visitors, even when it was Luke. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Luke kicked Bo off him as Jimmy landed a hard punch on Luke’s temple. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Mrs. Sanderson told the family lawyer that at any rate there was really nothing in the house Luke could steal. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z Luke didn’t say anything, because he knew he was wrong. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “I plan to sing it to Arthur,” Luke said. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z It wasn’t a deep cut, but Luke howled. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z She keeps him away by chattering with Grandpa about meaningless facts of various small towns, keeps him away by answering the encouraging texts from Luke, keeps him away with calls to Dr. Mann.

The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z Luke was so surprised, he lost his balance and almost fell backwards off the trunk. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Luke sat in the corner, sipping water and trying to will his body up. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z He let Luke and me tag along while Adele did the dishes. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Luke and I would watch her sometimes on the late-night news. The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z “By all accounts,” said Brother Luke, “this forest goeth for miles, and it may well be that we shall not come out of it by nightfall.” The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z Luke had even heard Matthew and Mark grumble about Luke having the biggest room. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Luke got sent home before the real whipping started. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z I always thought Luke only cared about himself. Because of Mr. Terupt 2010-10-11T00:00:00Z And when he saw blood on the collar of his shirt, Luke panicked. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Somehow, Luke never got as old as Matthew and Mark. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z “I’ve brought in a number of different ingredients,” Luke said, “and they’ll interact perfectly because of the electron balance and resulting bond formations.” Because of Mr. Terupt 2010-10-11T00:00:00Z To tell somebody besides Luke the truth about Jimmy. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z There had been moments when Jimmy had chased him and Luke before, but they went miles in a different direction to keep him from finding the plane. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “You’ll fall,” Luke said, and Eleanor gasped; she brought her eyes down with an effort and found that she was gripping the veranda rail tightly and leaning far backward. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z Mrs. Moss used to punish Luke by dunking his head in the bathtub, and one of the adopted kids claimed Mrs. Moss held her head underwater for several minutes until she had trouble breathing. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Thanks to James and Luke, we started to. Because of Mr. Terupt 2010-10-11T00:00:00Z One of their assistant coaches saw Luke and bent down to whisper something in Herrera’s ear. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Before Luke could ask, he said, “Lily gave these to me.” We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z I probably should have given him a polite reply, but I was thinking about Luke and the other Children’s Home kids who might never be adopted. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Luke seemed to notice her for the first time. The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z Luke saw a light go on and off at 9:07, two full hours after the last of the Sports Family had left. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z They had defied the Government once, with Luke. Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Grandpa had taken Luke to town and had been arrested for drunk driving.

The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Luke was holding a worksheet up against his locker, trying to finish a line of math problems, when Toby shot down the hallway like he was being chased. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “Luke was most certainly scared,” he agreed from behind her. The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z Luke looked down at the scorpion, which was now sitting on my thigh.

Amina's Voice 2017-03-14T00:00:00Z Luke didn’t want to argue with him, but even if Toby didn’t care about the money—Jimmy would. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “Madam,” Luke said somberly, “you are no longer welcome as my guest.” The Haunting of Hill House 1959-10-01T00:00:00Z And when Luke needed money to pay the electric bill last year, after days calling it “camping” so the twins wouldn’t worry, Coach paid it without question. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z As Luke was raising his sword to rally his troops, a centaur shot a custom-made arrow with a leather boxing glove on the end.

Kindred 1979-06-01T00:00:00Z It was nearly dawn when Robin felt himself lifted onto Brother Luke’s back, for he had fallen asleep.

We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z Toby knew he was fighting dirty, but he didn’t understand why Luke held him to a different standard. We'll Fly Away 2018-05-08T00:00:00Z “I’ve enrolled Luke in Head Start,” Mrs. Moss said, sounding like the most responsible parent ever.
