This Magic Misfits book started out a little rough for me - it seemed very repetitive from the first two. Also one of the major plot points was in-fighting among friends/miscommunication/pettiness which like, ugh. I did have to remind myself that maybe a middle schooler - the intended audience - would have responded better to that. But I was pleasantly surprised when the book took some turns near the end and my attention was once again captivated.

One of my son's favourite series, he's read them (and listened to the audiobooks) sooooo many times!

Same as the first two: love the diversity, inclusion of LGBTQ parents, main character in a wheelchair & the teaching of magic tricks to kids throughout the book. On to book 4!

I love the Magic Misfits Series! The first two were phenomenal 5 ⭐️ for me. This one was a 3.7 ⭐️ and I rounded up. I simply didnt like the fact, that it took a really dark, sad route at the end. But thats just me personally! The book is still very nice.

Another fun read from The Magic Misfits.
I listened to this book on audio. Much like the last installment, I don't love the change in narrator. I get that with the change of "main character" we get a different narrator (and I loved this "voice" for Theo's book), but I think the books would be more cohesive with one narrator.
The conflict of this story was great! Lots of creepy twists and turns and things you weren't expecting. I thought the ending felt rushed in comparison to the rest of the book. The lead up and ending didn't quite balance like I'd hoped.
All in all, I will continue to enjoy this series, and can't wait to see what next installment has to offer!
