After reading this book, I have one major complaint: the dialogue. I can't seriously believe that anyone in the real world really talks this way: every second word seemed to be slang and "So", "Like" and "Totally" were completely overused. Also: the sub-plot involving the missing pop-star just didn't really add anything and some of the characters (particularly the twins' respective friends) were a little annoying. Anyway, apart from these points, this was a quick, fun read and I think I'll probably read the next instalments in the series if and when they appear in my library. But no, after reading this I was not filled with an overwhelming compulsion to rush out and buy the next book and I don't imagine I'll want to re-read "The Power of Two". I wouldn't think anyone over the age of twelve would find much challenge in reading this, although the teenspeak can take some time to figure out. Older readers interested in Wicca should try Cate Tiernan's "Sweep" series.

Camryn Barnes and Alexandra Fielding have never heard of each other. They don't know that except for Alex's hair, they look totally alike. Alex, the sarcastic one, lives in Montana in a tiny with her buddies and a smoking mom(her dad left). She is perfectly normal except for the fact that move things without touching them and hears things. Cam, calm,lives in a house that can fit Alex's trailer in it. She too is perfectly normal except that she can blind people on the soccer field.(you'll find later in the book that she can heat things up and has visions)
Separated at birth and given to their adoptive parents, the two meet unexpectedly at Big Sky(a theme park). What would you do if you saw someone who looked exactly like you? Probably ignore your excited friends and try to forget the whole thing. Yup, thats what they did at first. But when Alex's mom dies, a strange man comes and Alex finds herself at Cam's house. Together, they unite their power and solve their first mystery together. Using their powers, though, unsure in the begining, they figure out where the missing famous singer is.
This was a great adventure book and I think everyone should read it. Its fast and thrilling and you find yourself in the middle of it
If you are looking for a book about Wiccans, I wouldn't reccomend this book. This book is more of a traditional book about witches.
Camryn Barnes and Alexandra Feilding live in oppisite worlds. Alex lives with her single mother in a trailer, and her mother has cancer. Cam lives in a whole other state with her mother, father and brother. Cam is popular and athletic, a pretty girl with a streak of perfection. Alex is punky and sarcastic, and has great friends-all two of them. She has streaks too-blue ones, in her hair!
There are only a few things they share-their face,and their magical powers.
They're twins.
It's quite a shock to them too. When Alex's mother dies, she goes to live with Cam's family. There, in Marble Bay, a teen Britney-like diva called Marleigh Cooper (who's #1 hit song is Whoops Was that Me?) was kidnapped.
It's up to them to use their powers to solve a mystory of Marleigh-and their parents!
I loved this book. It may seem vauge about their parents, but the identity of the parents is supposed to be a mystery. So go read this book!
