The Magic Misfits by Neil Patrick Harris 253 pages
Okay, I admit that I read this simply because I love Neil Patrick Harris. That being said, it was well worth it! It was never too heavy, had lots of heart, celebrated diversity and threw in some magic trick how-to's just for fun! The story follows a boy, Carter, who is excellent at sleight of hand, but has been raised by a less-than-honorable uncle who wants him to use his skills to relieve others of their belongings. The whole experience has made Carter quite certain that there is no such thing as real magic. When he runs away, he runs into a group of people who love magic tricks as much as he does. He will have to decide whether he can trust anyone when it comes to magic, facing off with more bad guys in the process. Do not pass this one up, it's a great story with lots of heart and humor!
