Imagine waking up to find that the world around you - life as you know it - has changed in an instant. That's what happens to Whit Allgood and his sister, Wisty. They thought that they were just a couple of normal teenagers, until their rude awakening at the hands of a dozen armed police! Charged with being a wizard and a witch, accused of having incredible powers they never dreamed possible, the siblings find themselves the targets of an upstart political regime, The New Order, which has swept the country and vowed to wipe "their kind" from existence. Now Whit and Wisty must fight for both their freedom and their lives as they unlock the powers burning inside of them!

I first recognized the title witch and wizard when I saw the commercial for the book Witch and Wizard: the gift and then I saw this on here and decided to get it. Turns out it was pretty good. The concept is pretty much like the Salem witch hunt where the Allgood family are being persecuted by the man known as the One (boy, do i hate that guy the moment I laid eyes on him). The whole struggle and abuse the two siblings had gone through were excruciating, and yet they endured. This book has really caught my attention and made think that James Patterson is a pretty good author for stuff like this, and I really like manga adaptions of his work such as Witch & Wizard, Maximum Ride, and Daniel X. You should pick up this copy if you are a fan of James Patterson.
