Time to Meet Ari and Arika

Today, let me introduce you to Ari and Arika. They’re twins, they’re smart, and they’re a handful. (What teens aren’t?)  Getting them to the same spot at the same time is essential, if the folks from Austin want to get home, in one piece.

Despite all the trouble the twins cause, they’re good kids. I like them, and I hope you do, too. 

Ari: smart, quiet, a little shy, full of curiosity

Arika: smart, talkative (perhaps obnoxiously so), loving

Ari and Arika are half Goblin and half Witch. This is important to the Peoples of the Wildes, but until recently, the teens didn’t know they were any different from their classmates at St. Gaetano Academy in Las Vegas. They knew their Aunt Akricia (the dreaded Mrs. Smith) was super strict but didn’t know why. They also knew something was off about their tutors, Teaser and Jonesy. 

With only a month until their birthday, things are going very wrong. First, they’re in trouble at school, again, and sure Aunt Akrica won’t let them have their promised party. Next, Aunt Akricia insists on doing this stupid ceremony… but I’m getting ahead of myself.

Let’s just say the gang’s weekend in Las Vegas does not go as planned.

Peace,
