Toby and the Silver Blood Witches by Sally Doherty

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @Sally_writes @The_WriteReads/@WriteReadsTours and @bbnya for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. I do like the front cover of Toby and the Sliver Blood Witches is does look magical and catches your eye. This is a children's book for children starting at 9 years old to above. The story about Tony was entertaining and enjoyed going on adventures with him. Toby is a great character, and I felt for him a lot due to his mum being ill but then founds his self-meeting witches that change his world and take him on a magical adventure. The story is well written, and children will love reading this story. Toby and the Silver Blood Witches is an exciting read that they will not be able to put down. 5 stars. Out to buy now. Blurb A sinister plot. A hidden city in the sky. A boy with an impossible choice. Twelve year old Toby has little time for friends or football since his mum fell ill. All he wants is to stay at home and 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 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 organisation which will stop at nothing to find out how magic works. Toby must rescue her and time is 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. Sally’s debut book and the first in a trilogy, TOBY AND THE SILVER BLOOD WITCHES, was a finalist for The Wishing Shelf Awards 2021 and shortlisted for both The Selfies and The Rubery Book Awards 2022.

Thank you @NikkiTgriffiths , @Seeshespeak and @Melivillehouse for letting me part of this tour and reviewing this book. I love the front cover its very eye catching witch would make me pick up to read the blurb. I like the title to. I found hanging out very instresting read its very true how people lost on technology and how we lost the connections in the real world since covid. I found it difficult and awakard going to social situations not knowing what to say or woundering if people want me there all because we been locjed away. I like how Sheila highlights her importance for us to hang out togther and how socialsing has changed through the years. Hanging out is written well and easy to get into and the topic is well researched. 4 stars. The digital age has consumed us. Every time we unlock our phones, we disengage from our social interactions. As a digital society we have fractured our real-life relationships, splintered our attention and created social voids. We overcompensate f

But after a few weeks, Florizel starts to notice something odd happening
