Witches of Pittsburgh is a riveting story about two young twin boys, Oliver and Emil, who find out about a not-so-secret family past. They are born descendants of witches, except any magic the family once had has lied dormant for generations. That is until, their 16th birthday. With their newfound powers comes a new world of mystery and wonder, but that is not always a good thing. As dark forces appear it is up to the twins and their friends to keep their city safe … and pass that Algebra test on Monday.
