Happy Friday Book-a-philes! I’m quite excited by this week’s Friday Freebie!

James Patterson author of the Maximum Ride series – along with many, many other books – has released a new series with Gabrielle Charbonnet called Witch & Wizard and he is currently giving away the first book which will be released on December 14, 2009. Which means… you get to read it early!!

Here’s a little bit about the book:

The world is changing: the government has seized control of every aspect of society, and now, kids are disappearing. For 15-year-old Wisty and her older brother Whit, life turns upside down when they are torn from their parents one night and slammed into a secret prison for no reason they can comprehend. The New Order, as it is known, is clearly trying to suppress Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Being a Normal Teenager. But while trapped in this totalitarian nightmare, Wisty and Whit discover they have incredible powers they’d never dreamed of. Can this newly minted witch and wizard master their skills in time to save themselves, their parents–and maybe the world?

They are offering Witch & Wizard as both an e-book or an audio book from iTunes. Just visit the official site (or follow the links provided) to get your copy! I personally can’t wait to check it out!
