School Library JournalGr 4–6—Twins Jack and Jaide have magical gifts that they will someday put to use to keep The Evil from creeping into the world. In this installment in the series, they attempt to learn how to develop and govern their talents. Many mishaps occur along the way, which is the reason the siblings are called "troubletwisters." Against their grandmother's wishes, they continue to investigate whether The Evil is once again walking around their small town. Having been caught by it in the last book, Jack is particularly sensitive and fears being consumed by it. The best part of the book is the description of how The Evil manifests itself. Swarms of insects and possessed humans with white eyeballs add to the fear factor.
