Resumen del Editor

Cole Balek is a liar. 

Okay, not really. He just makes you think he’s sawing someone in half or that he’s trapped in a trunk. All Cole wants is to continue the love of magic that he and his late father shared by becoming the best tween magician in the Las Vegas area. 

But when Cole and his mother get a mysterious note from a rare book collector, he’s forced to search among his father’s belongings for A Lesson in Magick, an old book of spells connected to an ancient group of magickers. What he finds instead are a series of coded clues his dad left for him - clues that send Cole and his best friends Ethan and Sanchez on a wild scavenger hunt throughout Las Vegas, in search of A Lesson in Magick. Cole must use every hack and magic trick he’s got, because he knows that if the book falls into the wrong hands, disaster will strike. 

As danger mounts, who can this clever, funny, and determined group of friends really trust in a world filled with professional magicians, strange professors, and scary Elvis impersonators?

Classy, fun adventure w/o smut

This was a lot of fun. I loved the intellectual and adventurous tone. The story is mainly about three friends, 2 male, 1 female who solve a mystery and evade numerous villains including "Smellvis". Take note Audible, this proves you dont need the extreme smut & alternative sexual scenes for an interesting story that is engaging for all ages. For example, there is a part about Dolly Parton impersonators who are described with big blonde hair and glitter rather than other body parts kids dont need to focus on. I also like there is a family focus, the bonds are obvious, poignant but not sappy. Much appreciated, bravo!

Great for everbody!

loved it! Enjoyed it with my kids. Would recommend to others intriguing and funny was always wondering about where it would go, and who was the ones to trust. very well written.

An epic scavenger hunt across Las Vegas

Cole and his mother are living in Las Vegas, trying to make it through life and heal from the death of his father. One day, Cole's mother gets a letter from a rare bookseller who is interested in a book that his father owned. When Cole begins going through his father's things to find the book, he doesn't find the book. What he finds instead is a clue. This clue starts Cole and his friends on a scavenger hunt that has them traveling back and forth across the city of Las Vegas in the hopes of finding where his father hid the book.

Unfortunately, the scavenger hunt is not without its dangers. Very quickly, Cole notices that he's being followed, and an early run-in with several Elvis impersonators shakes up Cole and impresses upon him the true level of danger involved in this hunt. Not only that, but with everything happening, Cole is having trouble figuring out who he can trust.

This was such a fun listen! The clues that Cole was following really illustrated the depth of relationship he had with his father and how much fun they had working on illusions to perform. The number of misdirections had my poor brain spinning at times, but it was still really fun to listen to Cole work through all the clues. If you like mysteries or scavenger hunts, I definitely encourage you to listen to this audiobook.

Elvis and Dolly's

Love the concept that Las Vegas is the magic capital of the US - I think I hit my forehead with a "doh" because why didn't I think of that before!! It's like the baby cousin of Hogwarts but no witches or warlocks. And underneath the mystery and comical friends (they may grow up to be in "The Hangover" yet...) there are heartwarming father-son moments. I will never look at Elvis impersonators the same way again, giggle!!

I forgot that Josh Gad was the celebrity narrator - kudos on his delivery.

Fantastic Mystery/Adventure!

Ok, so Josh Gad is the PERFECT voice for this part. No, he doesn't sound 12, but his inflections and overall read will absolutely get you in that headspace. The story is wild and funny, like a quest but leaving you wondering who is a good guy and who is a bad guy and who is somewhere in the middle. The supporting cast are also great--I'd love a standalone Sanchez story! Great fun for kids and families.

This is a magical adventure I’ll never forget!

Suri Rosen knows how’s to tell a story! I loved the wonderful, vivid imagery that jumps out at the reader/listener! Josh Gad was the perfect narrator for this tale! I had so much fun listening to this beautiful story of a boy’s undying love for his lost father.

Las Vegas and Magic

I really enjoyed the book it was nice to have places that I knew in Las Vegas and could imagine it in my mind

My kids (8 and 6) loved the story!
