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.

Interesting to say the least

Both my husband and I really enjoyed this book. It seems to be a cross between Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling and 1984 by Orson Wells. If you choose to read this, remind yourself during the reading that this book is geared toward a young adult audience. There was alot in this book that could have been better, but over all a good read for us!

Slow at first

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Only if I knew one that was into Witches & Wizzards

Would you recommend Witch & Wizard to your friends? Why or why not?

This book started out slow then grew on me,so Yes

Which character – as performed by Spencer Locke and Elijah Wood – was your favorite?

Both did an equally good job

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not really,I found it hard to get into st first

Any additional comments?

I was surprised at Patterson's writing of this book

Decent Story

I really liked this series when I was a kid. Been going over some of my old books on audible. Second time it's obvious that this is for a younger audience and i've out grown it, but it still is a run read/listen

Good story, too teen-styled writing

The book was like so totally written in like umm this kinda writing and like if you wanna enjoy it then you gotta be like under 16 or stuff.

Otherwise, the story, the characters, the intensity was quite nice. The writing style is really quite a shame.
