Publisher's Summary

A New York Times best seller and USA Today best-selling book!

From beloved award-winning actor Neil Patrick Harris comes the magical first book in a new series with plenty of tricks up its sleeve.

When street magician Carter runs away, he never expects to find friends and magic in a sleepy New England town. But like any good trick, things change instantly as greedy B.B. Bosso and his crew of crooked carnies arrive to steal anything and everything they can get their sticky fingers on.

After a fateful encounter with the local purveyor of illusion, Dante Vernon, Carter teams up with five other like-minded illusionists. Together, using both teamwork and magic, they'll set out to save the town of Mineral Wells from Bosso's villainous clutches. These six Magic Misfits will soon discover adventure, friendship, and their own self-worth in this delightful new series.

(Psst. Hey, you! Yes, you! Congratulations on reading this far. As a reward, I'll let you in on a little secret.... This book isn't just a book. It's a treasure trove of secrets and ciphers and codes and even tricks. Pay attention and you'll discover more than just a story - you'll learn how to make your own magic!)

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

I'm old

I'm 28, but when I saw NPH, I HAD to buy this book. I was not disappointed. Will definitely be playing this for the kids in my life when I babysit them. It was a lovely and entertaining book, and NPH does an amazing job with the voices and narration. loved it!

Unremarkable

7 yo and 4 yo say there are much better options out there and I have to agree.

I felt this really just fell flat and I was expecting more from Neil.
