Publisher's summary

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?

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Great story, but hated the music

The story and narrators were very good. I loved the Walt and Wisty. The world building was incredible. However, the music and random sound effects were extremely annoying! I'm not sure if I want to listen to the next books because of it. I would be listening and completely engrossed in the story and then this ear grating background music would start. Maybe it would have been better if it was a pleasant sound, but No! it actually made my brain cringe.
I'm not a fan of music or noise in an audio book, but most of the time I can overlook it. But they were really horrible sounds!

it was a great youth book.

I liked it and found it easy to get into the story once I got used to the youthful readers. They do a good job helping you remember that the characters are supposed to be young.
