Witch & Wizard - Book One (Excerpt)

De: James Patterson, Gabrielle Charbonnet

Narrado por: Spencer Locke, Elijah Wood

The world is changing - the government has seized control of almost everything, and kids are disappearing. For 15-year-old Wisty and her older brother, Whit, life turns upside-down when they are hauled out of bed one night, separated from their parents, and thrown into a secret compound for no reason they can comprehend, except that the new government is clearly trying to suppress Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Imprisoned together in a decrepit cell, Wisty and Whit cling to the only things they have left - a blank book, a drum stick, and each other. While searching for ways to escape, both begin exhibiting strange abilities. Maybe there is a reason they were singled out!

Can Wisty and Whit, a witch and a wizard, master their skills in time to save themselves, their parents - and maybe the world?

From James Patterson, the creator of the best-selling Maximum Ride and Daniel X novels, comes Witch and Wizard, his most terrifying and awe-inspiring series yet.

Not sure

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

SMile

Unfairly rated

Reading the reviews from the original book and not the excerpt, I find them to be unfair. The biggest complaint being it’s written like a kids book and the girl tries too hard. The thing is….this is a kids book and therefore kids have to be able to relate . I think the narrators are on point as girls are typically more dramatic and boys are typically lower key. Lastly, I wonder what kind of an adult would look at the title Witch and Wizard and not have an inkling of an idea that this could be a kids book.
My recommendation is to listen to the preview of any book, as they are typically long enough to give you an idea about the storyline, how it’s written and the narrators especially since they can make a break a book.

I like it

the story telling is good
the story itself is good until now, I would like to finish it

Witch & Wizard

I found this story to lack connetivity. who was the boy that betrayed, them.. Who was the one ruler, and why weren't they given lawyers?
