SuitabookWitch & Wizard
James Patterson, Gabrielle Charbonnet
- Reading
- Consider checking in after the early scenes of separation and imprisonment, then follow your reader’s lead on whether to pause or continue.
- Themes
- Control and freedom: A ruling regime seeks to suppress life and liberty, music, books, art, magic and the pursuit of being a normal teenager. The premise foregrounds restrictions on freedoms and expression, but does not establish how the full story evaluates the conflict.
- Young people in danger: The siblings are imprisoned, while thousands of young people have been kidnapped; many remain missing. The premise establishes danger and uncertainty, but not how these experiences are developed or resolved.
- Worth knowing
- The premise includes forced separation from family, imprisonment, kidnapping and young people whose fate is unknown; these elements may make parts of the story tense or upsetting.
