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.
