Witch & Wizard: The Gift

By: James Patterson

Narrated by: Elijah Wood, Spencer Locke

Brought to you by Penguin.


Ever since Whit and Wisty Allgood were torn from their home and family in the middle of the night, the soldiers of the New Order government have relentlessly tried to capture and execute them for 'collusion, conspiracy, and experimentation with the dark and foul arts'. But this supremely skilled witch and wizard have instead boldly spearheaded the fight against the cruel and brutal regime.

The villainous leader of the New Order is just a breath away from the ability to control the forces of nature and to manipulate his citizens on the most profound level imaginable - through their minds. There is only one more thing he needs to triumph in his evil quest: the Gifts of Whit and Wisty Allgood. And he will stop at nothing to seize them.

Critic reviews

It's the second in the series but stands perfectly on its own. Ideal for 12 to 16-year-olds who want something with a harder edge. (Kati Nicholl)

A sequel that didn't even follow the first book!

I am sorry to say that the first book was ok, but this one was awful. I don't know if James Patterson even read it much less wrote it. A waste of a credit, and I won't get the last one either.

James, quit putting your name on garbage.

Like others, I am really battling to finish this book. There is no continuity from the first book, the storyline jumps around, and the writing is generally awful. James, quit putting your name on garbage. You're ruining your reputation.
