Witch & Wizard by James Patterson

Members of the Teen Scene Initiative are definitely fans of James Patterson’s new young adult series..Witch & Wizard.  One member commenting she couldn’t put it down…and had to read it to the finish.  A definite dystopian novel, Wisty and her brother Whit soon discover that they have powers …powers that threaten the New Order (the corrupt, new government). The siblings realize that these powers could ultimately help free thousands of imprisoned children and Wisty’s and Whit’s parents.  Patterson keeps the reader engaged with action packed, short chapters.  The book is not for the squeamish, executions and tortures abound.  Witch & Wizard fans will find themselves waiting for the next book in the series, The Gift.
