Blurb:
A sinister plot. A hidden city in the sky. A boy with an impossible choice.
Twelve yer old Toby has little time for his friends or football ever since his mum fell ill. All he wants to do is stay home so that way he can keep an eye on her.
But mysterious things are happening beyond his garden hedge. Who is the figure at the window behind the barbed wire fence? And why is there a strange woman in his attic with a broken broom and a bothersome pet bat.
Toby becomes entangled in an adventure of flying dogs, sparking hiccups and dangerous escapes. An innocent, young witch has been captured by a secretive organization which will stip at nothing to find out how magic works. Toby must rescue her and time ins running out.
Author Bio:
Sally Doherty lives in leafy Surrey with her husband and three-legged (but speedy) rescue dog. After studying French and German at university, she worked for a year in London before unexpectedly falling ill with M.E. Being stuck at home and often in bed for sixteen years, however, has lit a cauldron of stories bubbling inside her imagination.
Sallys debut and the first in a trilogy, Toby and the Silver Blood Witches, was a finalist for The Wishing Shelf Award 2021 and shortlisted for both The Selfies and The Rubery Book Awards 2022.
A review for Toby And The Silver Blood Witches will be up on Sunday since I accidentally got two dates for this blog tour!
