Wow! As long as it had been since I last did a First Lines Friday, I actually had to search my own blog to find the last time I’d done a Teaser Tuesday post and it’s been nearly a year!
While it’s similar enough to FLF, I always figured that Teaser Tuesdays packed a special punch to it. It’s one thing to be hooked by a greater opener, it’s another thing to grab a random, sometimes insane, sentence or two from the middle of the book, leaving you with a “Holy sh*t, what did I just read?!?” feeling.
So since, I’m reading three books this week, I figured, no time like the present to bring this bookish meme back! Can you guess what I’m reading based on these teaser lines?
Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by The Purple Booker.

This week’s lines…
Halfway across, his foot caught on some broken wood, and his whole leg slipped between the planks. His heart almost burst from his chest.
Did you like this week’s teaser? This book is…
Toby and The Wizards of Wildhaven by Sally Doherty
Goodreads Blurb
An abandoned island. Crowded dungeons. Friendship and betrayal.
When the witches invite Toby on holiday, he’s looking forward to a break from his dilapidated house and leaking roof.
But they arrive on the island of Wildhaven to find a trail of destruction. Discarded boots and ripped cloaks litter the cave floor. Even the seaweed has turned snakelike. What has happened to the wizards? And can a mouse in disguise provide some clues?
The hunt is on and Toby must work with grumpy witch, Flame-Red, to unravel the mystery. In a hidden hill, an old foe is lurking. And this time, magic is under its command.
