Prompt: Test Readiness; summarize what has happened in the book so far
Introduction to Witch and Wizard
This week I recently finished reading the first book in the series Witch and Wizard. Th first book has the same name as the entire series. It has to do with brother and sister Whit and Wisty. One cold dark night soldiers are marching outside their doors and suddenly they bust open the door. These weird looking soldiers attack the parents while the other guards take captive Whit and Wisty. They put in a creepier van and they inform the siblings that they have been convicted with crime by the New Order. The soldiers take the siblings to what seems like a mental hospital and there they meet the evil nurse Matron. After the brief meet and greet they are taken to court with a the One Who Judges. The evil judge tells them that they will be executed once they both turn 18. Luckily the two siblings escape with the help from Whit's dead girlfriend Celia.
The Action Event of Witch and Wizard
In the book so far Whit and Wisty are taken to an abandoned store called Garfunkel's where it is full of abandoned kids. These kids are rebels that are trying to stop the leader of the New Order which is the One Who is the One. The rebels are lead by a teenager named Sasha and the kid president of the week is a girl named Janine. Sasha needs the help of Whit and Wisty in order to save the kids that are trapped in the Overworld Prison. Whit and Wisty deny helping Sasha because they have to find there parents. Sasha mentions that the sibling's parents are also trapped in OverWorld Prison so the siblings decide to help. The book so far mentions that Wisty can turn into a human torch and she has the power of telekinesis. The siblings carry out this plan with the help of a fierce warrior called Marco, a boy named Emmett, and the friendly dog Feffer. In order sneak into the prison Whit dresses up as a guard and Wisty turns herself into a mouse.
Part II of the Action Event
The mouse Wisty successfully enters the building without getting hurt, but she accidentally ended up in the garbage dump. Whit is able to rescue some kids so they decide to drive the minivan to the portal in the underground subway. Whit and the gang end up in the middle of a train track until they realize that a train is actually coming. The mouse Wisty realizes that she is surrounded by rats who look very hungry. When the rats are about to eat her she suddenly turns into her human form again but she is captured. The engine of the van doesn't turn on but luckily Whit uses his wizard powers to get the gang to safety. Wisty uses her fire powers to fight against the guards and all of the kids escape from the prison. Whit and Wisty reunite but they realize that their parent where never in the prison in the first place. The book ends with a big sentence saying "to be continued".
In the book Whit and Wisty are able to survive the evil clutches of the New Order. They are able to survive one week without food and they get food when the rebels have a celebration party. In this book the term "survival" has to do more with fighting very evil guys and trying to ruin the reign of the One Who is the One. They turn the evil judge into a cockroach and they scare away the Matron with the combine of power of Whit and Wisty.
This week I will comment on Jenna, Jesus, and Maria's Blogs.
Great blog post this week! I really look forward to reading them. I liked how you summarized the book, and described the characters and what they are. Plus I really like how you format everything, it really helps me figure out what that paragraph is going to be about.
