Galley Review: Witch and Wizard by James Patterson

The world is changing; the government has seized control of every aspect of society, and now children are starting to disappear. 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 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 that they have incredible powers. Can this newly minted witch and wizard master themselves in time to save themselves, their parents, and even the world?

What SL teens are saying about the book...

"I liked the book, honestly. James Patterson is one of my favorite authors. But while I did enjoy the book, I feel the Maximum Ride series was better and this book could use a bit more work. The question of why they got captured is never fully answered. Is it supposed to be in the next book?"--Hanah K.

"The spells in this book surpass those in Harry Potter. It was like having all the super powers in the world stuck into two people."--Jenny L.

"I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, but the powers that Wisty has like fire and shapeshifting are more offensive powers. Most of the time I find these powers in male characters. Whit had more passive powers like telekinesis, which are painfully common in female characters."--Claudia N.
