My grandsons will love this when they are older. It’s a great book for elementary age boys and girls especially if they are interested in magic tricks. ( )

I loved listening to Neil Patrick Harris narrating his own young readers book, it was like watching NPH in Lemony Snicket, each voice was different and entertaining. This was a great beginning to the Magic Misfits series and I can't wait to see what this new group of friends gets into throughout the rest of the series. ( )

This book was so fun to read. I did not want to put it down. I will definitely be looking for the rest of the series. ( )

The Magic Misfits is an entertaining story about a team of kids from different backgrounds who use magical tricks to fight crime!
The Magic Misfits is full of interesting and delightful magic tricks. It’s really cool how the magician kids in the story almost seem to have special “superpowers”, because each one has a unique magical talent. Carter, for example, is good at making things disappear. Even though people label them as “misfits”, the kids stick together, bound by their friendship and love of magic. The young magicians hold their meetings at a very cozy and fantastical magic shop run by a helpful adult magician. Reading the book, you wish you could join them in their magical hideout and take part in their scheming. The abundant illustrations add an extra dimension to the story, and I like how the book encourages you to pick up magic yourself by including instructions for a few tricks.
The Magic Misfits‘ plot is straightforward, which means that the story is rather predictable. In fact, the book’s simple vocabulary and writing style make it seem more aimed at younger children than middle-grade readers. I liked the diversity in the cast of kids, but it would have been good to give them more interesting and distinct personalities.

Carter doesn't believe in magic, but that doesn't mean he isn't looking for it. He wants to escape his Uncle Sly that wants him to use his fast hands to steal from people around him. Will he make it away? And what will he find if he does?

This is a page turner filled with adventure, friendship, and wonder! ( )
