The book I'm reading is 'Witch & Wizard' by:James Patterson. The plot of my book would be two kids (Whit and Wisty) Get taken into a new thing called 'The New Order.' They have been excused of having amazing powers and get sent to jail (chapter 1). In the jail they find out that they do have strange unusual cool powers (chapter 30). The go through trouble of trying to escape this Hell hole due to the fact that they will be exacted the next day. Then they begen to see Celia (Whit's girlfriend who mysteriously disappeared.) She tells them that they need to escape some how. So she has a plan. She will take them into the shadow land. This is the only possible way out. But they have to risk the fact that they could be trapped there forever (chapter 51). The setting of my book would have to be the shadow land. They have no idea what time it is due to the fact that the Sky's are gray. The shawdowland is full of spirits who haven't fully passed over. The characters in my book at this point of time would be Whit, Wisty, and Celia. The universal theme of my book would have to be 'HOW SOCIETY ACTS OR REACTS.' I think this because in life our society reacts to criminals by placing them in jail, and people if they know they are going to be killed they will react to this. This is exactly what is happening in my book.

The plot in my book right now would be it is some time at night. I would say around midnight. Katrina Katrell is with her guardian in a subway. I would say that my book takes place in the time that we are in right now. I say this because everyone has a imagination and some kind of little wold of their own. No where in my book does it say what time period we aer in. So This is what I think. My only characters in the book would be Katrina Katrell, her guardian, and the little creature she keeps on seeing in the dark that won't stop winking at her.(page 3) Next I would say that the universal theme would have to be human nature. This is because we all see things and we all imagine things it's just something that is programed in our brains I guess.

Imagine you wake up and the world around you-life as you know it-has changed in an instant. That's what has happened to Whit Allgood and his sister, Witsy. They went to sleep as normal teenagers, and woke up as wanted criminals. Accused of holding incredible powers they'd never dreamed possible. And now, just how different they are-special, even-if just beginning to be revealed in a strange new world. It begins...now.
The book 'Witch & Wizard by James Patterson' takes place at home and then straight to 'The New Order' (A jail for what some call the supernatural.). The Antagonist of the story world be the guards for the new order and the police for the new order. The protagonist of the story at this point would be Whit, Witsy, the mom, and the dad. The main characters are Whit and Witsy at this point in my book. The universal theme of my book would be 'HOW SOCIETY ACTS OR REACTS.' This is because in the book society is reacting by putting anyone who has some kind of super power into a jail called the 'New Order.' In this jail you cannot use any of your powers due to the fact that the whole jail has a spell on it to the point where it will deactivate their powers. In other words anyone who is different will be sent to some kind of jail. My favorite character Whit is very loquacious in his dreams but other than that not very much in the day.
