Absolutely amazing! A great story of how absolute power, and corruption can bring about frightening changes in government, and how, when that government is wrong, people (even children) will stand up against it, and fight for what they believe in. Of course, it absolutely helps when there is magic! ( )

I read the book a few years ago, I actually really prefer the graphic novel. Wisty and Whit Allgood wake up to find that their world is suddely different and that they're going to die because they have paranormal or witchy powers. Their lives will never be the same again as they get arrested, escape and repeat this a few times. It's an interesting near-future world and scarily believable in some ways. ( )

Torn from their parents in a society increasingly controlled by the government, fifteen-year-old Wisty and her older brother, Whit, are incarcerated in a totalitarian prison where they discover they have incredible supernatural powers.
