Garth Nix
Are you a troubletwister? Jaide and Jack Shield's lives are changing in a very, very strange way. The weather is turning against them. Magical disasters occur when they're around. And a mysterious explosion has just destroyed their house...from the inside. Without knowing why, the twins are stolen away to live with Grandma X -- a relative they've never, ever met. At Grandma X's house, things are even stranger. Weather vanes point in the opposite direction of the wind. Doors appear and disappear. Cats talk. Jaide and Jack don't know the reason behind all this strangeness. They don't know that they're troubletwisters, and that they must defend the world against a dark, evil force. The time has come for them to discover the truth--and the powers that come with the truth. Are they ready?

ReviewGarth Nix and Sean Williams on Troubletwisters"Sean and I are old friends and we ahve been talking about co-writing something for years, so it's great we've finally got our double act together with Troubletwisters. We'd discussed co-writing a thriller or a science fiction screenplay but then it hit us that we both love children's fantasy books, so that's hwat we should write together. Troubletwisters is the result." —Garth Nix""riters like Alan Garner, Susan Cooper, and Ursula Le Guin inspired both of us when we were kids. Now that we're older and have kids of our own, our job is to inspire them in turn. But really, it's our inner children we're writing for first. That we've never really grown up is what makes these stories so much fun, for children of all ages." —Sean WilliamsProduct DescriptionA spectacular new middle-grade fantasy series from NYT bestselling authors Garth Nix and Sean Williams, in which two twins find that they must act as wards against a threatening evil.The Evil has been trying to break into our dimension and dominate the earth for centuries.
