YOUR BOOKS, MUSIC, AND ART--BANNED BY THE NEW ORDER!

Everything is about to change. The government has seized control of every aspect of society, and this is the astonishing testimonial of Wisty and Whit Allgood, a sister and brother who were torn from their family in the middle of the night, slammed into prison, and accused of being a witch and a wizard. Thousands of young people have been kidnapped; some have been accused; many others remain missing. Their fate is unknown, and the worst is feared--for the ruling regime will stop at nothing to suppress life and liberty, music and books, art and magic . . . and the pursuit of being a normal teenager. ...

Slow but good
The book itself came in great condition BUT paid for the expedited shipping and it took 7 days to get here, I would have just had it shipped regularly if I would have known it would not have taken any longer :-/ blah

Witch & Wizard
If you are expecting this to be "the next Harry Potter", you will be deeply let down. I saw the ads for this book and had very high hopes that this would be the next series to captivate audiences around the world, gain its own movies, and achieve its own fansites. I honestly don't think it will even get close.

The plot of this story had great potential, but the way it was executed made it hard for me to enjoy this book. I felt as though it was trying to be HP so much that it, quite frankly sucked.I found it hard to believe that with magical parents, you would not know you had magical powers until you were convicted for them and then suddenly have complete control on them in a matter of days. I had several problems with the writing also, I thought the language the teenagers in this book use was not realistic to what it actually is. For example, when Whit finds out he will be put to death he says, "tough noogies". I find it very hard to believe that I would say something like that if I had just found out I would die in a matter of weeks. I also thought that it was hard to remember who's POV the story was in because it kept changing back in forth. Another problem I had was that everything happened so fast that I didn't know what was going on, especially at the end.

The cliffhanger ending indicates that several more books in the series will follow, but I am not so excited to find out what they hold in store.

very interesting book
witch andwizar is and amazing book. the book made me feel like i was in it. I like the action and aventure. i am a big fantacy fan and majorty of the books i read are fantacy. james paterson is an amazing writer. i have not been this iterested in a book for a long time. i definatly prefer this book to everybody

if it's not JP's
I was very excited to read the book at the beginning as this book is like one of my most anticipated book I wanted to read so much this year. As I got it in my hands, and opened the first page, then started to read it, I said, I was going to love this. But I'm not. I love Maximum Ride Series so much that it blinded me about this one. I was over expecting about it. But, don't get me wrong. I don't love it, I just like it. I was thinking the book is a 5 but, in the end I gave it a 3.5.

The idea of witches and wizards really stunned me. I love the combination of magic and kids which Whit and Wisty are very strong characters with great powers. The only thing that buggering me is that, he tried to put a lot of mysteries in there and make it sounds like too forceful and unbelievable. It has a great potential in the story line but it still lack of something like relatable scenes with so many back and forth. It really made me hard to enjoy to read the book. James Patterson's writing style of short chapters interest me the most before, but now in this book, that really doesn't work. I found too much of scenes to gasp and hold my breath to wonder what will happen. I love it before, but like I said, it doesn't work this time. It's like a fake and not really believable

Love James Patterson!
couln't wait to get this book and was pleasently surprised to get it so quickly. ... Read more

Product Description
When Whit & 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.. ... Read more

Not Worth It
As much as I love Elijah Wood, I was very disappointed with this calendar.What I thought I was buying was a "Lord of the Rings" calendar that had all "Frodo" scenes. Instead, there was ONE picture from LOTR, and the rest were all Elijah publicity shots. But that's not the reason I am giving it only one star.

The calendar is completely nonfunctional. It is almost as if the calendar part was an afterthought. What I have is a set of twelve 16-inch high Elijah Wood posters, with the days of each month listed as a string of tiny numbers along the bottom. That's it. No holidays are noted either.

I knew I was taking a chance by buying this calendar sight unseen, but thought it was a pretty sure bet. Learned my lesson. ... Read more

Inspiring and exciting
With characters both real and heroic, the Elijah Creek series is an inspiring, hard-core tale of friendship and adventure. I found myself falling in love with Elijah, his friends, and the Great Spirit who called them--and calls all of us--into His story. ... Read more

The Ancient Omen
The Ancient Omen, a book written by Lena Wood, though a fiction book, will help you learn about God. Elijah, Robbie, Reece, Mei, and Skid find a piece of armor at the bottom of a hill that will lead them to the adventure of their lives.During their summer break, in a town where usually nothing happens,Elijah Creek, a fourth grader, and his friends named Robbie, Reece, Mei, and Skid, who are all very adventurous, find a belt but don't know what to do next.When looking for another piece of armor, Elijah, Robbie, Reece, Mei, and Skid find a body that might be the daughter of a man named Dolan.They get into trouble with the police and are forced to tell the truth to what feels like the whole world.Elijah regrets he ever got into this mess. Elijah tries very hard to stay out of trouble but it seems to turn out bad most of the time.

I wasn't like any of the kids in the story because I don't keep secrets and hardly anything exciting ever happens to me.Once though, I did search for treasure in my woods with my friends Rob and Mark, and found some nails with a metal detector. This is my text-to-self connection. Elijah and I are not the same in many ways. For example, he gets into trouble more often than me.

The Ancient Omen is a great book. It explains a lot about Christianity and can help you with some problems you might face in life like lying.I liked it when Elijah and his friends found the belt at the bottom of the hill. If I could change anything in this book it would be instead of finding the belt they would find a sword or shield. People who might like this book are Christians or people who have just become Christians because the armor they find is the armor of God. Third and fourth graders will probably like this book. ...
