Description:

Identical twins. Separated at birth. For one very good reason . . . Camryn Barnes Smart, upbeat and popular, Cam is all about friends, family, school, and soccer. She¹s best of breed all around. Except for one bone-chilling secret. Cam sees things happening before they happen. Very bad things.

Alexandra Fielding Spunky, punky, and sarcastic, Alex is all about making it from day to day. It¹s just her, her mom, and a ratty tin box called home. Whatever‹Alex can deal. Except for the weirdness. Alex hears things. The things people think but haven¹t said.

If they ever met . . . They could combine their powerful gifts and help people. Maybe even solve the mysterious star-napping that happened during Cam¹s soccer game. They could start to figure out who they really are; who their biological parents really are‹or were. They could fall into the hands of the powerful warlock who wants them for evil . . . or dead.

They're about to meet.

Review (From Amazon.Com):

Imagine hanging out at an amusement park one day with your best buds when, out of the blue, your eyes lock with another girl whose face is identical to your own. Cam Barnes, preppy and upbeat, and Alex Fielding, cynical and tough, couldn't be more different--or more alike. When the fates (or someone else... ) bring the girls together, all illusions of their former lives are shattered. Suddenly, the strange secret each girl has always kept--Cam sees things before they happen and Alex hears people's thoughts--begins to make sense, as the girls reluctantly join forces to create a powerful, though unchallenged team. Their abilities are soon put to the test when a young superstar is kidnapped while visiting Cam's hometown.

The first book in pop writers H.B. Gilmour and Randi Reisfeld's T*Witches series introduces readers to the incredible mystery behind two almost-ordinary girls and launches headlong into the drama that unfolds as the twin/witches (t*witches) begin to develop their combined powers, in spite of evil forces lurking behind the scenes. Watch out for future titles in this exciting series. (Ages 9 to 13) --Emilie Coulter
