**  The book Witch and Wizard: The Gift is by James Patterson and is a fiction/general kind of book. James Patterson has had 220 million copies of his books worldwide in the past 3 years. He has 63 total fiction successful selling books. ** **   This book is about a young witch and wizard named Wisty and Whit Allgood who are trying to run away from The One Who Is The One. The One Who Is The One is an exceptionally powerful wizard who must control everything or else. He wishes to steal Wisty’s “Gift”. As they are running away and hiding everywhere, they run into a lot of difficult situations. There is love, romance, betrayal, loyalty, strength, hurt, and most of all Magic in this novel. Wisty and Whit embark on dangerous journeys to protect and save those staying at Garfunkel’s (a department store that a bunch of abandoned kids hide out in). As they try to save their parents as well, they end up planned to be executed along with them. They were all lined up in the gallows together to die. **  **  I was looking at reviews and I came across this one. He has a very strong opinion which I think is incorrect. He says that this book is basically bad; like it has no plot and the cover has nothing to do with the book. The cover has everything to do with the book! It is Wisty up in flames, which are one of her “Gifts”. **  [|**http://chickloveslit.com/2010/06/review-the-gift-by-james-patterson.html**] ** About the book…hmm. This book was amazing! I loved it. There is mystery and suspense that keeps you at the edge of your seat. The story of a Witch and a Wizard continues in this thrilling novel when Wisty and Whit try to control their powers properly. Wisty can’t help but burst into flames when she is livid. ** media type="youtube" key="LoxR_zXUa4Y" height="198" width="344" align="center"
