Troubletwisters
ByPublisher Description
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?
"Full of adventure and the unexpected, the first book in Nix and Williams's new series is delightfully twisted. The pacing is perfect, the setting is eerily dark, the faceless Evil rings true, and the resolution is satisfying." —

“I love middle grade books, but I didn't love this one.
The title, the cover, the synopsis... It all sounded so cool! A unique idea! Amazing... Right?
In execution, this book went in so many weird directions that confused me. It didn't feel cohesive and naturally flowing. And sure, I'm not the target audience at all so maybe that's on me?
There were so many scenes that were in the book that could have been removed and not impacted the story, which always annoys me. Sometimes those scenes can be fun and nice, and develop character! But this book... I just felt like I was uninterested every time I kept coming back. And I tried! I wanted to find more amazing middle grade novels to recommend but... this didn't work.
So... Maybe middle graders will appreciate it more than I did?
One out of five stars.”
“It was kinda hard for me to read either because of the different way the author writes or lack of interest. I'll never call a book bad because they aren't, love how it starts of strong and I think the bug scene was gross and rememberable.”
