Publisher's summary

When Whit and Wisty were imprisoned by the wicked forces of the totalitarian regime known as the New Order, they were barely able to escape with their lives. Now part of a hidden community of teens like themselves, Whit and Wisty have established themselves as leaders of the Resistance, willing to sacrifice anything to save kids kidnapped and brutally imprisoned by the New Order.

But the One has other plans in store for them: He needs Wisty, for she is "The One Who Has the Gift". While trying to figure out what that means, Whit and Wisty's suspenseful adventures through Overworld and Shadowland lead to a jaw-dropping climax and conclusion: The highly-anticipated fulfillment of the heart-pounding opening prologue of book one...The Execution of the Allgoods.

I love this series so much

James Patterson is the best I love how his brain works and how his books seem to take you to another world.

Tween Novel

Super tweenie. I am listening because it's fun but I feel like I would enjoy it more if I were still 11yrs old. I will finish the series though. My curiosity is peaked.

good

the story is fine , entertaining but not fabulous, you don't seem to get so much of explanations on the story and why anything is going that way, sometimes things change from seen to another with no sense like they are not connected, like sometimes they could be dieing and all of a sudden they walk somewhere else the way they are out of it is not mentioned!
the narrator is very good though

Patterson does it again!!

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

Patterson has written a young adult series that is very appealing to parents that want to read what their kids read!! Awesome series!!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Witch & Wizard: The Gift?

You really feel like you are part of the book!!

Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?

I love the continuance of the same voices in each of the books. I love Elijah Wood!!

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

I cannot believe it, I couldn't put it down and simply couldn't wait to get the next books in the series. I was so anxious until I could download the second book after I finished the first at one time!!

Any additional comments?

Truly an awesome book and looking to be a fabulous series!! Very quick listen - I couldn't turn it off. Thank you so much!

it was ok, kinda slow though

I enjoyed the book, but alot of the story was really predictable, I would recommend to a younger reader, like 12-15 years old.
