Publisher Description
Witch & Wizard: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience! *
When a dystopian government controls every aspect of society, siblings Wisty and Whit Allgood may be the world's only hope in this magical beginning of James Patterson's Witch & Wizard series.
The world is changing: the government has seized control of every aspect of society, and now, kids are disappearing. For 15-year-old Wisty and her older brother Whit, life turns upside down when they are torn from their parents one night and slammed into a secret prison for no reason they can comprehend. The New Order, as it is known, is clearly trying to suppress Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Being a Normal Teenager. But while trapped in this totalitarian nightmare, Wisty and Whit discover they have incredible powers they'd never dreamed of. Can this newly minted witch and wizard master their skills in time to save themselves, their parents—and maybe the world?

" I really wanted to like this book more, yet I felt the story line albeit it is a great idea, lacked depth and so did the characters. I just wasn't able to connect to the story. James Patterson had a really great concept yet I don't feel he delivered it as well as he could have. "
