TroubleTwisters is a spectacular middle-grade fantasy series from bestselling authors Sean Williams and Garth Nix, known for the The Old Kingdom books.
These books tick all the boxes when it comes to adventure, family and fantasy. Jaide and Jack are our protagonists, quickly discovering they are both so-called 'troubletwisters'. And when they are sent to live in Portland with their grandmother, their ability to create magical disasters wherever they go becomes even harder to ignore. But their strange magic might just be the key to defeating a terrible truth, a horrific evil that is threatening to destroy the world as we know it.
This is a fantastic series if you're looking for something that will deliver on the fantasy like Percy Jackson and The Olympians or Harry Potter. For more series like this, do also take a look at our blog post on the Best Magical and Fantasy Series for 9 and 10 year olds.
