Witch and Wizard

What would happen if, suddenly, you and your sibling were taken away from your family by a new and corrupt government and had no idea where you were going or if you would see your parents again? Then, what if you were if you and your sibling were accused for being a witch and wizard even though you know it would be absurd and impossible for that to be true? There is no such thing as magic, right? That whole situation seems crazy and impossible, but for Wisteria and Whitford Allgood, it is what they must live through every day in the James Paterson's __Witch and Wizard__. The thrilling, original, and mind-racing story about two teenagers, bother and sister, being taken away from the innocent and easy world that they once knew to be thrown into a world of pain, challenge, and struggle excites even halfhearted readers with every page. After being arrested by the new, corrupt dictatorship known as the "New Order" for being a witch and wizard without a fair trial or a good reason, Whit and Wisty are thrown into a mental hospital turned into a prison with harsh conditions and no escape. There they slowly discover and learn to use their powers, and they are shocked at what they can do. But now, the entire Allgood family, parents included, is sentenced to death, but Whit and Wisty, not being 18, cannot be executed, and their parent shave managed to escape though they do not know how or where they went. Soon though, Whit, the older brother, will be 18 and hung until dead, and he and his sister have less that two months to escape before he is killed. Can they make their escape? Will they ever see their parents? All of these questions come to mind, and the book is great and thought provocative. It kept me turning the page every time, and I'm sure it will do the same to you. __Witch and Wizard__ is a fantastic book! The clever and fascinating tricks and magical abilities that James Paterson gives his characters in this book are so creative and cool. The plot is well thought out and written, the characters are easy to relate to, and the whole story is incredible. This is a great book that anyone will enjoy. I loved all of it, I can't wait to read the next book in the series, and I highly recommend __Witch and Wizard__ to anyone looking for a good book.
