WITCH & WIZARD 15-year-old Wisty and her older brother, Whit, have just had a rude awakening...literally. Torn from their beds by forces of the New Order, and thrown into a secret prison, the two teens try to fight their growing despair that began the day before, when Whit's girlfriend, Celia, was spirited away in a black van. Then something extraordinary happens: Wisty and Whit suddenly develop strange powers they manage to control, somewhat awkwardly, to make their daring escape. THE GIFT This time, they must defeat the New Order and save their parents and kids like themselves who have been imprisoned. But the One has a much different agenda: he wants Wisty, for though she does not know it, she has "the Gift."
James Patterson takes suspense to the max in Witch & Wizard: The Gift, as the empowered sister and brother make their desperate escape back to Freeland in time for the music festival. There, Mrs. Highsmith, a witch and dear friend of their parents, tells them that the one thing feared by the New Order is music. Will that knowledge come in handy when they're recaptured and face execution? THE FIRE hit and Wisty Allgood have sacrificed everything to lead the resistance against the merciless regime that governs their world. But the growing strength of the siblings' magic hasn't been enough to stop the evil rampage of The One Who Is The One, and now he's executed the only family they had left. Wisty knows the time has finally come for her to face him. But her fight and her fire only channel more power to this already invincible being. Will she and Whit be able to prepare for their imminent showdown with the ruthless villain who devastated their world before he can become all-powerful?
