'Toby and the Silver Blood Witches' is an exciting adventure story which is sure to captivate young readers. Set in the modern world, children will recognise many elements that run through the story - bullying, persecution, friendship, computer games, football, single parent family, ME and young carers.
But this story also incorporates a fantasy world of witches and it is in this dual world that Toby has his adventures - helping (and being helped by) the witches. A brilliant book that simultaneously deals with the complex area of young carers and the feelings of being overwhelmed, anger, guilt, being trapped and with the effects of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis.
The ending where both Toby and his mother accept help from others (including the witches) is very powerful. The fact pages (and contact details) about ME and Young Carers are useful and important additions.

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 bat? Toby becomes entangled in an adventure of flying dogs, sparking hiccups and dangerous escapes.
