After a fateful encounter with the local purveyor of illusion, Dante Vernon, Carter teams up with five other like-minded kids. Together, using both teamwork and magic, they'll set out to save the town of Mineral Wells from Bosso's villainous clutches.

MY REVIEW
I am and have always been a very big believer in every book is for everyone. Just because a book is classified as middle grade doesn't mean that only middle graders can read it. I will be honest and say that the main reason I picked this up was because it was written by Neil Patrick Harris, a celebrity that I respect highly and always make a point to try and watch whatever he is in whenever I can. The second reason is because of what the book was about, magic. I have always loved watching and reading about magic since I was a young child. This book was so much fun to read. We follow street magician Carter as he leaves his past behind and comes across a 'gang' of characters that are up to no good, using magic to commit crimes. He meets up with a few misfits who work against this gang to help restore good in the community. What gave this an added level of fun was the 'hidden' magic lessons in between - such great fun to have a go at! I listened to the audio book and would highly recommend that, particularly as Neil Patrick Harris reads his book himself.
I am very intrigued to find out what is going to happen next...
