Teaser Tuesdays! (4)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

1. Grab your current read
2. Open to a random page
3. Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
4. BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
5. Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Eyes Like Stars by Lisa Mantchev

Here's this week's teaser, although I know that most of you have already read this:

"What sort of foul spell was that?" he demanded.
"It wasn't me!" Bertie stood with a wince, though she had more to worry about than a few bruises on her elbows and bum.

Okay, I was nervous to do this because I haven't read up to this part yet, but it's ok; I didn't read anything important.
