But before that happens, I must insist we pause yet again to explain.… With a lengthy setup like that, you must be itching to start the first chapter. This adventurous third tale should fill in any gaps in your memory. This seems like a lot of backstory, right? That’s because it is! But don’t worry if you can’t remember. The Magic Misfits also rescued a monkey and a pair of field mice, and performed (twice!) at the majestic auditorium in the Grand Oak Resort, which overlooks their cozy town of Mineral Wells. Bosso and thwarted Sandra Santos (Madame Esmeralda) and her crooked crew’s attempt to acquire a secret ledger belonging to Dante Vernon-the owner of the local magic shop and one of Leila’s dads (but of course you knew that).

In the previous two books, our Misfits brought down a criminal circus enterprise run by the ominous B. There is Carter ( The Vanisher) Locke… Leila ( The Escape Artist) Vernon… Theo ( The Levitator) Stein-Meyer… and Ridley ( The Transformationist) Larsen… and who could forget Olly and Izzy, the ( Hilarious) Golden twins. I have to assume that you remember the details of our favorite young magicians’ club-the titular Magic Misfits. And if you examine every page, you might even find clues that answer questions you have not yet asked.

I will need you to think twice about whom to trust and whom to blame. You see, the escapades in this book are a tad more treacherous than in the previous, and I want you to take as much care as the Misfits must themselves. But once you begin reading this-the third tale of the Magic Misfits-you shall understand why I was hiding. This ink is my voice, and these letters are messages from my mind.Īnd there you are! How happy it makes me to have you along for yet another journey.Īpologies for the secrecy.

It’s me… right in the pages of this book!
