Troubletwisters, by Garth / Williams, Sean Nix is $2.72 for Australian Kindlers (and apparently on sale at Kobo, but I'm not sure for which regions, other than "not in the US").

Book Description
A spectacular new middle-grade fantasy series from NYT bestselling authors Garth Nix and Sean Williams.

Are you a troubletwister?
Jaide and Jack Shield's lives are changing in a very, very strange way. The weather is turning against them. Magical disasters occur when they're around. And a mysterious explosion has just destroyed their house...from the inside.

Without knowing why, the twins are stolen away to live with Grandma X--a relative they've never, ever met. At Grandma X's house, things are even stranger. Weather vanes point in the opposite direction of the wind. Doors appear and disappear. Cats talk.

Jaide and Jack Shield don't know the reason behind all this strangeness. They don't know that they're troubletwisters, and that they must defend the world against a dark, evil force. The time has come for them to discover the truth--and the powers that come with the truth.
Are they ready?

The publisher, Allen & Unwin, has six titles under $2 for those in the US (including the free Writing a Novel, Sydney March 2011-August 2011) and thirty or so under $4 for those in Australia, such as The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society ($2.72) and Prodigal Father, Pagan Son ($3.63); the latter looks like a must for Sons of Anarchy fans.
